That's how it was written in DOS. They had to change the eprom to change the escape code into chr(123) {, because the generic printer driver does not allow escape codes, at least that is what I thouhgt. But now it turns out that this character cannot be sent directly to the printer neither.
Reminds me of my first lesson in BASIC
10 Print "This is loop"
20 goto 10
