HELP. I am having a problem with PROCOMM and no one around here seems to
have a manual(I am told we have a site license).

Situation:  Using PC as VT100 emulated by PROCOMM.
	    Want to print document residing on host computer on PC printer.
	    PC receives  ESC [ 5i code and dutifully sends data to printer.


Problem:    I have embedded printer 'ESC' commands (to line feed, change
		pitch, etc) and they are not getting to the printer.  It
		appears that PROCOMM, in its great wisdom, grabs the 'ESC'
		sequences, even though they are not valid for a VT100, and
		does not forward the 'ESC' sequences to the printer.

Can anyone tell me how to stop PROCOMM from exhibiting this rude behavior?
