           [<lIgnoreHighByte>]  ;  // Default: .F.
         ) --> lSuccess
Return

Description

<cFileName>

This is a string containing the name of the ASCII file to be printed

<lIgnoreHighByte>

If this parameter is set .T. the high byte of "next line" is ignored. This is useful for "soft" carriage returns which are inserted to a text using MemoEdit().

"hard" carriage return = Chr(13)

"soft" carriage return = Chr(141)
