We are using a terminal emulation package to access a CD-ROM gateway
which runs MS-DOS-based search engines to retrieve data from the
CD-ROMs.  Since we're having the Macs act as terminals, users can print
to their "slave printer" (as DEC VMS calls them) attached to their Macs,
but can't "download."  For the MS-DOS users, we have a program which can
be turned on and off to redirect information destined for the printer to
a file instead.  Is there something like this for the Mac?  It would
have to be something the user could turn on and off at will, during a
work session.

Thanks for any info!
