If you have got more that 256K of RAM in your computer, you can use
the RUN command to invoke a DOS application from withing dBase III.
You can create a program in Pascal, C, Basic, or whatever your
favorite language is, to send the required characters to the screen
or printer.
For example, you could have a printer control program that sends an
ESC-E to your printer that turns on Emphasized print. The program
could be a file called EMPH.COM. The command from dBase to set
Emphasized print on would be
RUN EMPH
Is this the sort of thing you were looking for?
