I tried ^Y, but >all that happens is that the job goes off as soon as I start another image >(MAIL must have an image rundown routine to queue the print job, I guess). To be quite short with you, there isn't a way. I've run into the same problems that you are running into, and I tried the ^Y route, and the DEL/ENTRY route but then I finally gave up. I know this, though, if there were a command, it would have to be in MAIL because I know that mail does something similar to a PRINT/HOLD. - John Sottile JSOTTILE@LOYVAX.BITNET Or, Via Fido-Net John Sottile at node 261/659 Loyola College in Maryland

Regarding the problem of deleting a file queued to be printed from inside of MAIL, I haven't tried this, but what about SPAWNing out of MAIL and then deleting the job from the queue? This seems like it would work. Dave
