If this is possible, I'd like to hear the method as well.  It would be
a convenience to have this transparent input capability to allow users
to write printer-emulators.  I was unable to proceed on a project that
would simply print dumb-LP type PC documentation because CR/LF for normal
text is indistinquishable from CR alone for underlining.

By the way, this work was on a QMS 800 II
