[I got no response with Distribution:Ca, this is a repost]

Does there exist a console handler that can echo to screen and printer like
CP/M and MS-DOS do on Control-P?  I need to have all the prompts from my
program be echoed to both the console window and the printer, and everthing
I type in echoed to both the console window and the printer.

Redirection to PRT: doesn't cut it; I can't see my prompts and the printer
can't see my input.  (This is for turning in homework assignments.)

I don't really need the ability to toggle the printing function on and off
(although it would be nice).  For what I need, it would not be unreasonable
to open a new CLI window that had exclusive access to the printer up until
the ENDCLI.

Has this been done?  Or do I have to do something like hack CONMAN myself.
