First of all: Hello from a Z-248..

Well, we finally got them in...  We loaded them up with just about all
that was available on the contract.

Now our problem:
The Western Graphtec MP2300 responds to BASIC commands, per plotter manual.
BUT, we can't get it to respond to CADKEY.  We've reloaded CADKEY, more than
once, and re-re-re-reconfigured CADKEY, still no-work????
We're running plotter out of LPT2 port (parallel), we've tried LPT1, no luck.
[ GENERIC CAD worked, calling plotter a "ROLAND" parallel plotter on LPT1 ]

Question:	What have we overlooked, done wrong, screwed up ???????

Any and all help will be appreciated..

Dick..
