PRMASTER.COM Version 2.0 April 19, 1989

The program is based on the PC Magazine SETUP.COM program (Vol.5 #2).
That program was modified to permit user input of menu text and
printer codes, to allow up to 31 printer codes per function key, and
to prevent multiple installations in memory. I suspect it will not work
properly on a PC Jr ( should work on any other DOS PC ).

What it does:
-------------

Provides a pop-up printer control menu for sending printer control codes
to the printer from within any application (for example, change print quality,
size, line spacing, skip to a new page, etc. ).

When it is called up ( at the DOS prompt, it is a 3K bytes TSR )

- with i parameter, installs a pop-up printer control menu
- with c parameter, allows menu text & printer codes to be changed
and saved to disk, update existing program in memory and/or install itself

CALL format:

PRMASTER , PRMASTER i , or PRMASTER c

For instructions on how to call it up, just type in PRMASTER

Further Customization Using DEBUG:
----------------------------------
