| Really not my area of expertise.  I've not dealt with the programme in
| question, so I really can't be of any practical help without doing
| research, sorry.


Then why ae you answering?

| 
| Of all the things you can do with filePro (or indeed, with computers in
| general), 'printing' is arguably the one thing I try the hardest to avoid,
| and with which I have the least experience.  I can if I really have to, but
| I otherwise dodge it where possible.  It's too messy and finnicky for my
| tastes.
| 
| Your odds are far better with Brian or Jim, I should think.
