I would like to tell an Apple LaserWriter to take legal size paper on manual feed. (Don't have a legal paper tray for the Apple.) Hence could someone pass along the necessary code for the insertion into the prolog of the postscript file? Now for the specifics. I'm running Elan's version of Troff and I plan on using the extension \X'prologcode="<Code>"' to tell the laser to feed legal from the manual feed. Now I regularly do this on an HP Laserjet II using \X'code="<Code>"' and I am hoping for a similar success on the LaserWriter as I need BIG fonts on legal size paper. Thanks in advance. --Rich Auletta rauletta@sitevax.gmu.edu rauletta@gmuvax2.gmu.edu. --R.J.Auletta
