From the DOS prompt, Ctrl P, or Ctrl Prtscr will toggle line
print mode on/off. I was looking into using this as a option
in a program,  found no documentation on how to call it or 
how it's implemented. Bios intr 05 or 17 doesnt do line prints.
Ended up using a bunch of if(linprt) fputs().
If your familiar with an easier way, like how to call the ^P
routine, please advise.
