As I was saying ...

I must agree with Reto.   We have a QUME Crystalprint Publisher which spews out
endless startpages}i~r, not only at power-up but any time the configuration is
changed, ie serial to parallel port.  Hundreds of sheets were wasted and there
was no mention of how to stop it in the documentation.  We eventually got the
relevant lines from QUME in the UK.  Whew!  Now what to use for scratch paper?
