Okay here we go, my latest findings.  Again a reminder this is what I'm 
dealing with.


SCO 3.2.5.0.6 i386
Filepro 4.05.08K7D4
AlphaCom Terminal Emulation
Windows 7 on all PCs except 1 which is Windows 10

I installed Putty, Kitty, and  Dave's Telnet on my W10 PC and none of 
these programs would allow filePro to Hardcopy or form print to the main 
system printer.  I installed a demo of AnzioLite and it will print to 
the main system printer but only under passthrough printing which does 
not print proper formatting.  I am at a loss.  I will repeat this only 
happens on the Windows 10 PC. Hardcopy and Form Printing from filePro on 
the Unix server work as they should on all the Windows 7 PCs, even using 
the same user login.  I think I'm going to the store for some diesel. :-P
