I am writing a short program that will, as part of its function, print out
a standard form.  However, the form is 'sideways' on the page.  I have the
form in a window, but now I want to print it out.  I figured the best way
to print something sideways is to change the default orientation switch in
the Page Setup dialog.

What's the best way to do this?  Can I just save a copy of the dialog resource
(with the switch set the way I want) in the application's resource fork?  Is
it that easy, or am I hallucinating?  I'm not _that_ expierienced a 
MacProgrammer, so have some mercy with your answers.
