I want to send a Escape sequence to my printer (i.e. chr(27),chr(71) for NLQ)
but the only thing I get is that the character after the Escape is printed
(in this case instead of NLQ I only get a "G"). I'm using the unit printer of
Turbo 5.0. Is this a bug in Turbo 5.0 ? I know I had the same program running
under previous Turbo Versions. Or did they invent something new which I haven't
found yet in the manual ? I think it must be a Turbo problem because I tested
it under different DOS-Versions and I get the wanted result using Basic.
                  
                                              Any ideas ?
