     Could someone please help me with a problem I'm having with Workbench 1.2
Preferences? Here's the situation:

          I created a file using ED on the 1.2 Workbench disk; saved it.

          Went to the preferences, set the margins and for letter quality,
             then clicked 'use'.

          Printed the file using:    copy file to prt:

          It printed fine.

          Then I went back and edited the file and tried to print it again. It
             didn't use the margins I set and it wasn't letter quality.

          I looked at the preferences. My settings were still like I had set
             them earlier, but it still would not print correctly.

          Then I rebooted the system; reset the preferences, clicked 'use';
             This time it printed correctly.

          Then I made a change and tried to print it again, it didn't work
             correctly!


     I was having similar problems with TextCraft 1.1. I transferred it to 1.2
and replaced the old preferences with the new ones from 1.2. Whenever I tried
to print a file, it wouldn't print in LQ and it didn't leave the correct
margins. Also, it would not underline or perform any other special functions.
     When I replaced the 1.2 preferences with the ones from 1.1, everything
worked correctly.


     What's wrong here? Am I doing something wrong or is it some kind of bug?

     By the way, I'm using the Epson FX-85 and the preferences were set to
"Epson."

     Thank you for any help.
