I own an Epson FX-85 and I'm writing a Life program in AmigaBasic (SLOW).  When 
printing I have to send Epson codes to the printer.  If I post this
program, I want to get stuff out of the printer drivers.  Could someone
post a summary of what's in a print driver?  Also, I've found that when
using the prt: device, it always advances one line before anything at all.
I haven't found this problem with par:.  Anyone with a DOS manual or the
developers manuals want to comment?  Also, could someone tell me what the
@#%@^%$ the graphics.library is?  Several of the basic demos use it but
it's nowhere on the disk.  There is a graphics.bmap.  Is this it?  I'm
getting about sick of the AmigaBasic manuals with their constant references
to the ROM Kernel Manual, INTUITION Manual, Hardware Manual, or whatever!
I wish I could just find a copy of all these manuals somewhere.


Thank you for your help,

Dan Wallach
