Thanks a million. > Anybody think it would be possible to install a trap handler to intercept the calls to output to the printer and send the output to a file? Perhaps a desk accessory (Yet Another DA!) like Tom Hudson's Hard Disk Write Protect DA? There are quite a few programs out there that do not have the option to print to a file...and since I have an FX-80 and the school has a laser printer, I usually try to print to a file and upload to the school's system (The laser printer emulates an Epson in any case). Any ideas? Greg Onufer exodus@uop.edu
