[GreenKeys] How to generate LTRS character from PC

Setup.

PC connected to volpe board (Jordan version).  Volpe driving loop with 
28 that has horizontal tab feature.

Batch file on PC sending text file.  Currently RY and Fox messages 
fine.  Printer needs FIGS G to tab.  & in ASCII does the trick.

Issue

It is recommended to send two LTRS characters after FIGS G (&).  
Otherwise the first printed character after the TAB is out of 
alignment.  I haven't figured out how to send LTRS (or manybe BLANK?) as 
a fill character via the Volpe (wonder if Eric or Jordan version makes a 
difference)

(from keyboard typing it performs beautifully, but no need for fill 
character because I can't type 100 wpm)
