I've been given the following code that will print a multiline textbox to
the printer, but for some reason, this code works, but when it comes out on
the printer, it is as if the printer is only printing on half the page...
It will print a line, then cut it off and then print the next line and do
the same thing through the whole textbox.  Why???  Can someone please help
me here!

Please respond to either shankscomp@geocities.com or farmer@iastate.edu
Thanks
