Hmmm. My copy of POST-HP4.PRN doesn't have a PC code 82 in it! It skips all
PC codes between 81 and 120.

Well, it's outrageous if A4 doesn't work. Most of the world uses A4. And it
ought to be a simple matter. Fact is, though, I simply don't have time to dig
into it now... I intend to revisit this later, bewcause I'm going to make some
changes to POSTGHST^.PRN. For one thing, I've been swimming against the
current, using the actual font names in the Ghostscript package. I should just
be using the old Adobe names for the "standard 35" fonts. The idea of calling
a font NIMBUS_MONO_L instead of COURIER is just silly, but I never really
thought about it...

Anyway, look, if we can't fix it with a XyWrite command, we'll fix it with a
Postscript command, and that will be the end of it. Late next month.
