     Thanks.  As you've no doubt read, the SHELL "Type
filename > PRN:" worked just fine.  I did have to throw
a
FOR I=1 TO 48
  LPRINT " "
NEXT I
in there before printing what was to follow from the
program in order to get the beginning.  I suspect you
are correct about the bit bucket, tho if that were it,
I'd think SLEEP would have accomplished it.  Anyway, it
is now working beautifully.
