YES!!!

And, thank you.  I could not understand what the difference between *HP4 and *LEXOPTRAT was.  That had me in the rut of not making a change,  Quite a few printers where I work are *HP5SI.  I know of one other that is *HP4, which, ironically, I set up some months ago after looking at the IBM ASCII printer support page.  Sometimes, I feel really old.........
