I have a couple of questions/problems that I thought someone could
help me out with.

First off, let me say that I am running a Compaq Deskpro with
two floppies and 640K.

First Problem.

     It seems that my monochromatic Compaq monitor (amber) has two
     levels of intensity, sort of a bright, and sort of a half bright.
     When I come out of symphony, the level is set to the duller level
     as default.  When I come out of Wordstar, the level is set at
     the brighter level.  So, in order to get the brighter level
     after using Symphony, I have to go in and out of Wordstar.

     Is there some way to circumvent this?

Second Problem

     I run a whole series of fortran programs that generate a series
     of output files.  I then obtain hard copy of these files by using
     the command

	   copy *.* prn

     My question is, I would like to have the date and time of the
     file's creation on the hard copy.  Is there some way to do this?
     
Third Problem

     In order to have these files to look nice, I output them using 
     the 17 cpi feature of my okidata 92 printer.  I have been accessing
     this feature by using the hard switches.  Is there some way I can
     access this feature from the keyboard.  I patched wordstar so
     that I can do it from there, but I just followed the instructions,
     and have no clue what I actually did.

In advance, let me say

Thank You

GINO

     Let me say that I am not a programmer, and you will have to
     be rather explicit in explaining this to me.
