Hi! Ed,

In a message to Holger Granholm you wrote:

Ahha!  Yes, the same thing happened with me too.  I recalled that the DOS
MODE command has such a feature, and just checked MODE /? help in a
DOS-box.  It includes...

  Redirect printing: MODE LPTn[:]=COMm[:]

Does your version of Windows still have that sort of capability?  I'm
probably whistling Dixie with this idea...

Yes, but the computer always gives up easily.  Ed just keeps on keeping on.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
