Subject: customizing user-defined functions in wordstar

I attempted to define strings in USR1 ... USR4 to provide esc-sequences to
output to an Okidata (epson-like) printer.  Nothing worked.  Instead of the
desired sequences being produced, small amounts or repeatable, printable
garbaghe were printed instead.
 
I wanted ctl-Q,W,E,R to evoke Italics, Double Width, narrow width and Reset.
 
Has anyone succeeded at this?  How?
 
Please reply to me at moore.losangel.ibm@udel-relay.  I do not regularly check
the net address where i receive info-cpm.
 
Thanks.
 
Jim
