Well, there is a better way to do this. You can run install
program (wsinstall, was it? it's been a while since I used
the WS) and go to the printer configuration menu.  There, you can
set it up so that the WS command for underscore (whatever it is)
issues the control string to put your printer in underline mode.
You will have to look up the manual for your printer to see what
that string is, but that's all.  If you've never messed with tinkering
with this sort of thing, I advise you to back up WS prog's before
you do anything.
