ntensity may by controlled with ANSI escape sequence.  Use: prompt e$[XXn
where XX =0 is dim intensity
      XX =1 is high intensity, e.g. bright


printer may be controlled by writing an escape sequence to proint buffer.
Using MS Fortran , use the 'char' command to write a suitable sequence, e.g.
wite(6,*)char(27),char(xx),char(yy),......

The escape sequence is the same one you used to patch WS.  Use ASCII value in place of xx and yy.  Remember to reset printer to normal char. size/pitch when finished via a similar command.
