The last character of an esc sequence must be capital.  This is the way
PCL knows that you are finished.

Subject:        Environment File Question (or "PCL: It's not just a
print job -- it's an Adventure")

I'm trying to get a PCL environment file to work, and though it does
work
fine for _most_ of the test print jobs I try, it also keeps eating the
first
two characters of whatever file I print.  The environment file in
question
is trying to print 212-column landscape on any LJ -- here's what it
looks
like:

^E^&l10^(s0p20h0s0b4099T^&14.5c
(The "^" replace "esc")

Not being too good with these things can someone please point out the
mistake I've made here?

BTW - What's the best way to create environment files anyway?  Can
EDITOR be
used to create these things, or do CRs/LFs get in the way?  (I used
"echo
[stuff] > file" in this particular case.)


Thanks!

Curtis
