	Even the <cr><lf> ORDER goes back to teletypes. It took more time
for the <cr> to complete than the <lf> so putting it first allowed the
print head to continue moving left when the <lf> rotated the platen
upward (and on a particularly slow system, with paper tape, one could
use <cr><lf><rubout> to give more time).
