Howdy Netpostscripters,

I'm trying to change the baud rate on a QMS PS-810 printer
and I don't know very much about using postscript
dictionaries.  The QMS manual is pretty poorly written
on this note but I've managed to get into "interactive" 
mode by typing 'serverdict begin 0 exitserver' at the
PS> prompt.  I realize that I won't get any (positive)
feedback, but I don't seem to be able to exit interactive
mode once I'm in.  Here's what I've typed in so far --
note that I've indicated all all carriage returns explicitly:

statusdict begin <Return>
25 57600 setsccbatch <Return>
end <Return>
quit <Return>

Nothing happens...

The QMS manual isn't explicit about weather your supposed
to use the last three <Return> characters, but
I also tried '25 57600 setsccbatch end quit' all on the
same line.

I know I'm in interactive mode since I get error messages
when I type erroneous stuff.

Am I supposed to be getting back to the PS> prompt
at this point?  If not, How do I know the command 
executed successfully?

What's the correct syntax -- exactly?
Please E-mail if possible,



Thanks ahead of time,

David Munoz
