If Atariwriter Plus permits escape sequences in the text, you can of course
control underlining at the printer.  I have done this with CDY's OmniWriter
(bundled with their 80-column upgrade chip) and my Fujitsu DL2400.

Speaking of printers, word-processors and such...  does anybody have any ideas
on why I get occasional uppercase Rs inserted into files when I print them to
a disk file and copy them to a printer?  I seem to get the same thing when I
download a file from a host and then copy to my printer or even load it into
my word processor buffer and print it.  Printing directly from the word
processor works fine.  The common denominator seems to be that I go from a
DOS 2 disk file to the printer; the details of the transmission path don't
seem to matter.
