	I have confirmed my B printer is in ISO mode, I can
print the rho, inifinity, etc. from simply putting the EQ
on the stack and then PR1.  My problem is that after using
the MES there is the option to view the last solution. (via
blue shift ALL)  This views either the EQ(s) used to solve
or the values solved for.  There is also the option to print.
If one does print from here is when the non iso (roman) chars
are printed.  I also confirmed that there are no chars inserted
in the PRTPAR file.

	I can then only assume that the hardware for the MES print option is
not sending the escape code for ISO printing.  Would someone else please check
this out?  Maybe just do two or three equations with a couple of rhos
and infinity in them, solve them with MES and try the print option.  If
you also get the old roman char set then something is wrong with the EQ-LIB
card or the 48!  Keep me informed, and thanks to all the responders!
