	     filePro 5.0.?, Red Hat Linux Enterprise 3.??, Anzio 15.? and
Go-To-My-PC (current version).

 I have a customer who will be spending some extended time in Florida this
winter.  He wants to do some filePro programming while he is down there.

	     He setup his laptop so that he can use Go-to-my-pc to connect
back to his office here in Wisconsin.  Using PFPRINTER and so forth, he was
able to re-direct his financial report printouts to his local desktop
machine.  From there his go-to-my-PC program routes them to his laptop
printer down in Florida just fine.  However, when he wants to hardcopy a
processing table and hits "Y" to the "Hardcopy?" question in dcabe or rcabe,
the code and variable cross-reference print out on a printer back in
Wisconsin.  (He didn't tell me whether they go to the local printer attached
to his desktop machine or whether they are going to his main Linux printer.)


	     Seems to me that there was some other variable that he needs to
set in order to get the program printouts to go to a different printer, but
I don't recall what that was.

	Thanks!

Mike,

You don't say how he is starting filePro.  I usually create a separate icon
on their desktop for using a remote connection.  This solves 2 problems.
First is insures that they are starting in a windows mode not full screen
(which doesn't work with any remote sessions).  Secondly, I have pfprinter
set to reroute to the remote printer.  

As John indicated, this should have everything pring to his locally attached
printer, no matter what computer he uses for GoToMyPc.
