     Hmmm...  Yes, I've see that done in order to get firmer control over
printers, but I'm hesitant to make a big change like that in a system.  The
first time I ran into that it took me a couple of days to figure out why the
normal filePro printer settings weren't taking effect.

    (Of course it was an undocumented change that had been added by a
filePro programmer that I was told was dead.  Later I found out he had
simply disappeared without letting his customers know and run off to Las
Vegas to become a card dealer at a casino...)
