convert printer code to string of chr()

[Brian K. White]

Why bother with chr for anything but esc?
Also if I'm going to be using a chr multiple times I like to define a 
small dummy just for the problem character
e = chr("27")
...
cpi = prefs(54)
...
ci = e { "(s" { cpi { "H"

"(" isn't one of the chars that needs any special handling.

If there is any problem with that, it must be with some subsequent 
handling of the string. But if you just did this and stuck *ci on the 
form somewhere, it should work fine.
