Is there any way to convince Applewriter to send characters to the printer
with the high bit on?  My printer -- a NEC Pinwriter P2200 -- has a lot of
special characters in the 128-255 range that I'd like to use but I can't seem
to con Applewriter II V2.0 into sending the high bit.

I know there's a lot of patches for AWriter out there, so maybe someone has one
that'll do the trick.

If it matters, I have a old Grappler+, which I have on the Epson settings.
(The card dates from early 1983 and therefore has never even heard of 80-column
text, let alone my printer!  But there should be a way to pass the data
through.  The setup works fine for everything else.)
