Hi! Tom,

I don't know what I was thinking.  It was just that Ed mentioned the word
'redirection' and that set my mind off in the direction of a long-forgotten
MODE capability.  I guess I was hoping to jog Ed's memory to put him on
track to fixing his little DOS printing hiccup.

Ah, nice to know that.  I always have liked the printer 'support' in
Windows.  It fixed my networking hassles with the USB-connected Canon MX320
hanging off of Barb's U'u machine, by using XP's configuration instead in
the vBox.

I'm still on the lookout for a printer driver for our shredder, as that's
where most of our output seems to go.  Barb gets a little ticked off when I
mention that.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
