No instructions on use of this feature are given in the version of the manual which I have. Has anyone actually found this feature to exist, and how to use it? I would appreciate a _mail_ reply from anyone who can explain the use of this feature. I also wonder if anyone has hacked a version of "col" that will make a point of _not_ losing some set of escape sequences that do wonderful things on their printer. If not, I may wind up hacking a special version that will recognise and pass through a set of escape sequences to be defined by a table. If no one else has done it, and I wind up doing it (after the 7129 other things on the list), I'll post any results to mod.sources. -- Tanner Andrews
