I prefer using "?" and "??". Consider this my personal preference - I may be wrong, but find it easier to manage.

I usually produce a text-file with "?" and "??", and then send printer codes + the text-file to the printer with "???".

"?" produces a line-break before producing output.

"??" continues in the same line.

You can use padr(), padl() and padc(), to produce fixed-length output. This may be important for some allignment situations.

HTH,
