                Hrmmm...? Just one character?and that a
                tilde'ed n? Has this printer (or computer)
                ever been south of the border?
                Seriously, this might have been the printer's
                own idea, but, if not, then, is this the first
                signal the printer has received from the com-
                puter? Bad thought, huh?
