I'm not using any widget or any graphics. I've done programs in Basic for
years and they have all been strict data handling. I want to convert some
to Python
as Windows XP doesn't like 16 bit Basic.
If I have a line in basic that says "print "This is a test print"" how do I
direct that line to the printer
instead of the console? And to send an escape sequence with it for printer
control in PCL
what is the syntax/format required?
No screen drawing - no graphics - just data and printer controls.
How does one use the operating system after importing it? Syntax and
commands?
What is the syntax for using COM?
In basic I write "shell"dir c:\temp\*.*>files.tem" and it does the same as
a dir command
at a DOS prompt and stores it in "files.tem" for me to access later.
