I am striving to learn SmalltalkV and have discovered that it
needs an (unspecified) Epson printer.

Since I have an Okidata 92 I'm having no success in doing a screen
dump.  It seems the Epson uses a control code followed by a byte
quantity.  Oki uses a control code to turn it on (03) and another to
turn it off (03,02).  Seems the off code must be avoided in what ever is
sent to it.  I'm not sure how newlines are sent, probably just sent
as ordinary <cr><lf> outside the control-start, control-end characters.

I called Digitalk and their best answer was that perhaps some kind
clever user would contribute a solution to their newsletter.

Any voluteers?
