* Printer Definition for IBM Graphics printer
*
* Created and updated by Roy Love August 20, 1987
* I can be reached on Jaskat Computalk BBS, PCBoard (213) 382-2172
*
* I've implemented as many of the KEYWORDS defined by PPRINT as of
* Version 3.3. Most of the command keywords map directly to defined
* Graphic Printer commands. Other keywords, POINT & some of the font
* names have been implemented to provide as much functionality as
* possible. Where the commands perform some Graphics Printer
* functions indirectly, I've included comments explaining the commands
* actual results.
*

* The following options are set immediately and become default values
* for the Graphics Printer.
