My understanding of that ",t" in the outfile was 'save text _only_'.
I use: outfile c:\matt\nt\a
That results in the complete message being saved with header. Just
now I ran an ALT+W on Jerry's last message, then hit , and typed
PRN, and it came out of the printer as: (without the quote marks)

Looks fine here on this ancient 1.99L!
BTW, that "a" filename in my outfile is just an 'incorrect
keystroke' protection. If I forget to type the specific filename for each
'save',
I get the 'append or overwrite' prompt rather than the bit-bucket, and
it only involves a single backspace to clear it when I hit the 'correct'
keys. You'd be surprised how large that file "a" has become. :-(
Good luck... M.
