Well, here is a bit of sloppy coding in DBT 10.5

For DBT to attempt to control your embosser page size, etc. you need to
check "accept escape codes".

When trying to use graphics, DBT just assumes you have are ready to accept
them, and sends them out, since that is the only way to get graphics printed.

That use has its parallel with version 10.4, where graphics commands were
sent out without asking the user if that would work.

In many ways, this is a theoretical isssue, since Enabling wisely sets the
default at accepting escape codes, and you would have to enter a command to
shut off their interpretation.

If anyone is having problems producing graphics with DBT 10.5, please
e-mail me so I can figure out what is happening.
