This might be more an MS/DOS question, but I'll post it here, since I'm
trying to accomplish this using Basic.  In DOS (v5.0), the *first* time
you go to use the PRINT command, DOS will ask you where you want the
file printed to;  You can override this question by using the "/D:"
switch on the PRINT command line.

However, *after* the first time you print, the "/D:" switch is no longer
valid; in fact, it generates an error message.

I've got a program where I want to shell out to DOS to print a report.
However, I don't know how to setup the program so that it will know whether
it needs to PRINT/D: or just PRINT.  Is there an environment variable
or something that can be examined to determine whether or not the "/D:"
switch will be required, or if a PRINT has already been done since the
last boot?
