with ESC style printing to HP LaserJet. I could get codepage 437 by sending \E(10U to the printer.

How do I get codepage 437 with NWP?

Thanks

I'm posting this in this section because the Printing section won't allow attachments

Thanks the help, I use the config option to turn if off.

pos(lwrc$(mytext$),"xxx",1) has always worked fine for me, so I really don't see a need for this "enhancement" !

I need to start using the Wiki more!!!

I take that back, I wasn't looking at the screen very closely.

Only the General Development section gives me the attachment option!!!!

I posted a message in the General Development section and I had the attachment option. I then tried a Reply and it gave me the attachment option (but I didn't actually post the reply). I tried a new message in this Printing section and I got the attachement(but didn't actually post the message). I'm...

mytext$ = "abc^"

p = pos(mytext$,"^",1)
4.03 returns 4
4.16 and newer returns 0

p = pos(mytext$,"^^",1)
4.03 returns 0
4.16 and newer returns 4

bug or new feature???

anyone ever figure out why some of us can't add attachments to a message so that maybe we can figure out my original codepage 437 problem

If I could attached an image you could see that I have no "attachment" option when replying to a message
I'm going to reply to the email message of this post and attach the image of my message posting session.

Rick

When the image didn't show up, I deleted the message.

I guess I'm blind or stupid or both, but I don't see anything about adding an attachment to a new message or a reply to an existing message.

Maybe it had something to do with my access level?

I setup the printer when BR is 1st loaded using PJL, the printscreen then works correctly. If you are using the Generic/Textonly print driver with PCL printing, you can also set the codepage under the Font Selection TAB on the printer properties. I even tried the Generic with NWP and sent PJL to the...

What I really need the codepage 437 for is print screens. If I use printscreen GUI, then everthing shows, but with a non-white background, it consumes a lot of toner on a black and white printer. I've tried using PJL: @PJL DEFAULT SYMSET=PC8 which is codepage 437, but BR seems to override it. Rick G...

I can't disaggree with anything you have said. I'm just trying to point out that if you give someone a loop-hole they will take advanage of it every time Rick The FileIO library is a tool you can use to implement a true database in BR. If you use it properly, you wouldn't create any indexes outside ...

However you could still create an index outside of FileIO that would never be updated. A true database would never allow this. Rick Just a piece of shameless advertising for a piece of free software: If you use FileIO, the indexes are always updated for you. FileIO handles all that stuff so you don'...

If you really think about it, all indexes are temporary. They are only indexes when you link them to the data file with an open statement, otherwise they are just another file to the operating system. If you forget to open one when you are updating the data file, the index is not updated. This can b...

Many years ago I read a book on structured programming. It was written by 2 guys who are considered the "fathers" of stuctured programming. The main thing I remember from the book is: "there is nothing wrong with a well placed go to"
