Probably the easiest way to understand HTML is to get a book describing the
language and look up the various commands. Many webpages use just a few
of the commands which may be learned quickly and most of the rest of the
commands are almost as easy to learn.

In most cases, you would want to "comment out" the "Lines=" by placing a
semi-colon as the first character of the line. Only remove the semi-colon
when printing to an ASCII (text-only) file. With the line "commented out",
TMG will generate graphic lines rather than the characters to simulate the
graphic lines.

As for "Linesubstitution=" and "Linefont=", you may need to contact Tech
Support on that as I am not familiar with them.

Hope this helps -
