Hello everybody.  A whileback, I caught the tail end of a discussion
about Imagewriter II or LQ problems.  Here are mine:           

1) My imagewriter occasionally prints lines of text 'squashed', i.e.
   about 1 pin shorter than they should be.

2) Occasionally, when I send output to my Imagewriter, the darn thing
   just starts spitting out reams of hex code in neat little columns.

Can anyone help me or point to a fix for these annoying MacBugs?

-ALSO-

I used to program a lot, in BASIC (shudder) and finally in assembler and
machine code for my Apple II+.  When I began using macs, I stopped
programming, as I had no idea how to go about it.  I find myself very
much wanting to learn how to program the Macintosh, but I *still* have
no idea how to go about it.  I know a little bit of C (not much) and
nothing else.  My question is:  What language should I learn (if any)
and do I NEED the APDA kit or whatever?  How does all this work? I would
prefer to keep learning C to starting something else, but if I had to,
well...

Thanks to any and all who reply (and, indeed, those who took the time to
read this!)\
