Be forewarned that some people renumber their FKEYs.  You may want to
check that the long int starting at the eighth byte of the resource is 4
(if your dumping to the printer), or that the resource ends with the
string ".Print".  You could even cycle through the FKEYs, but this gets
harder than what's described in IM II-165, anyway.
