Problem: 
     With TCO 5.1345 SETSPD may set a printer desired to be lowercase to
uppercase, depending on the exact commands in the configuaration file.

Diagnosis: 
     SETSPD does not latch the setting of MO%LCP, and may clear it if a
subsequent printer command in the configuration file does not contain the
lowercase keyword.  The old characteristic should be preserved to avoid
having to change existing configuration files.

Solution: 
     Have SETSPD latch the lowercase setting of a printer when encountered,
so that any subsequent printer commands for the unit preserve the lowercase
status.

SETSPD assumes that physical address's and monitor virtual address's are
the same.  They are not.

page numbers of monitor pages.  MMAPWD (location 25) points to MMAP.
