On Jan 02 Matt Mc_Carthy sez to Chris Maddock:

CM>>Yep. You need to put it as thus ...
CM>>PRN,t
CM>>The ",t" tells it to include the header. This is also true for 
CM>>saving to a file.

MM> Looks like a 'bug' slipped in and caused a 'reversal' of the

MM> ",t" means save (or print) _text_ only, without header
information.  

When I was using version 4.10 DOS 16 bit the header was NOT printed when I
tried PRN, t, in fact that entry yielded an error message (I forget what it
said now). However, I just tried it in 4.20b2 DOS 16 bit, and PRN,t does
indeed print the header.

As you suggest, there has prolly been some changes from author to author,
version to version.
