Hi,

Does anybody know how to stop the text datatype from sending form feeds at the
end of each page.

Everytime I print a text file on my Laser printer using MultiView (OS3.1) I
end up with one page of print and one blank sheet.

Copying text files directly to the prt: device works perfectly, so the
problem is definatley with the text datatype (version 40.3).

Pictures also work correctly.

Anybody feel like reprogramming the text datatype to omit form feeds at the
end of page?

Thanks in advance.

Kevin
