- From the DOS prompt, Ctrl P, or Ctrl Prtscr will toggle line
- print mode on/off. I was looking into using this as a option
- in a program, found no documentation on how to call it or
- how it's implemented. Bios intr 05 or 17 doesnt do line prints.
- Ended up using a bunch of if(linprt) fputs().
- If your familiar with an easier way, like how to call the ^P
- routine, please advise.
