For too many reasons to go into, I am having to try and re-use much of the printer code (@ SAY) in an old application being "converted" to VFP 5.0

The old code used to do something like so:

MP12 = CHR(27) + "&k2s"
SET CONSOLE OFF
SET PRINT ON
*GO TO 12 PITCH
?? &MP12
SET PRINT OFF
SET CONSOLE ON

In order to send ASCII printer control codes to the printer to control things like pitch, orientation, compression, underlining, etc.

However, the ?? construct doesn't seem to be supported in VFP 5.0

Are there other methods or syntax that could duplicate the above types of printer control commands when using the old @ SAY technique of printing. I saw somewhere previously that there might be some _ (underscore) type of command to do this.

Help!!
