printing to file

[scooter6 at gmail.com]

  Ha yep, right you were.....now all seems to work fine if I do

  /u/appl/fp/rreport file -f recap -u -a -v select     <------ in select
processing, I have the printer file command :)

  Thanks Ken for pointing me in the right direction.......

  So, to clarify, I don't need to do a printer reset command anywhere in my
processing???
  Either before, after or anything.....
