This brings back memories! I can only recall some sketchy details
but here goes:

?/?? has problems with null char for some reason related to dBase's
output string handling (can't for the life of me remember the
details!).

??? bypasses the installed printer driver and allows you to send
the null character, but maybe this command only appeared in
dbase IV? If so then this message hasn't been much use, has it!

Regards,
Paul
