If you want to print a page at a time and be more Mac like, then you have to open the printer like a file and send all you output to the special window statement. For Example: OPEN "O", #1,"LPT1:PROMPT" 'Open the printer port WINDOW OUTPUT #1 'send all drawing commands to the printer ' Draw you stuff here WINDOW CLOSE 1 'Close the port CLOSE #1 'Close the file. Printing begins here >Thanx-- >Scruffy >Ian Sullivan -- ___________________________________________________________ Matthew Mora | my Mac Matt_Mora@QM.SRI.COM SRI International | my SUN mxmora@unix.sri.com ___________________________________________________________
