printer file "name" - problem

[Dennis Malen]

Ken,

If I don't go into Define Output Formats and then Options and delete the 
name of the printer in "printer name" the ascii file is not created.

If I leave the "Number of lines per page" at 64 then each record is 
recorded, but it is a full page at a time (64 lines). If I change the 
"Number of lines per page" to one line then each record appears as it should 
with a full screen of records.

I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what!

Dennis
