APW and APM are limited in their ability to print. You can only print a screen. There is a PRINT.UCD for the Windows version that allows printing of text and includes the ability to print a text file. You cannot print graphics. There is very limited formatting capability. Calling JumpPrintReturn produces an annoying transition as it goes to the application to print from. As far as formatting and graphics are concerned, this is the best alternative, but it is ugly to the user and is essentially useless to touchscreen apps since there is a print dialog box (not that I am limiting my apps to touchscreen.) Are there other alternatives? I'd like formatting capability (fonts, emphasis, etc) and I'd like to bypass the print dialog box. (Is this dangerous?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Onesty, Systems Analyst voice (703) 951-9836 IDD, Inc fax (703) 951-9839 206 Colony Park, 2001 S.
