I need to use a few line-drawing characters.

With an HP264x terminal or HP256x printer, no sweat:
^N (ascii(14)"SO") == 'alternate character set'
5 (ascii(53)"5") == gives me a "tee" instead of a 5.
^O (ascii(15)"SI") == 'primary character set', all just as I want ;-).

Is there a way to turn this on for an HP5siMX laserjet?  I tried using PC-8
and PC-850 character sets, but ^N and ^O don't seem to do their magic.

This is also a bit of quandary for various delivery modes: the program
generating the list is smart enough to produce 3 different versions of
line-drawing characters, but atop that my users have multiple output paths
available, beyond the program's control.

Does anybody have a sweet solution?
