[Note - I made a clumsy error posting this earlier. My apologies if it turns up more than once.] We are using VMS MAIL (VMS 5.5-2 on a VAX 6320). Several users send their MAIL messages, with the PRINT command, to the same printer. If they don't collect them within a day or two, it is not always possible to know who originated the print job - for instance, if the message comes from a mailing list, or was sent to more than one person. Is there a way of instructing PRINT to include brief user information at the top of each printed message - analogous to the /HEADER qualifier of the DCL PRINT command? All I need is the username, but date and time would be useful too. I tried PRINT/FLAG and PRINT/BURST, but it seems ridiculous to generate a superfluous page of gobbbledygook when a single line of information would do. Any ideas? (I KNOW that I could probably get away with just discarding print jobs that accumulate after a day or two, but I'd like to give my coworkers the benefit of the doubt.) Thanks in advance, **************************************************************************** * Yosef (Jody) Branse University of Haifa Library * * Mt.
