Richard....your suggestion is good, please do consider if there is future enhancement. 
btw...another question on this printing....if the output goes more than 2 pages, is there a way for us to put a header for each page? and also page number?

I think I have a program which does that, but unfortunately it's on my PC at home and I don't have access to it where I am. Remind me in a couple of weeks.

Here is the program. It's intended as a proof-of-principle, in practice you would probably want to put the printing code in a SUB so it can be called from multiple places:
Code: PrinterName$ = "DoPDF v7"
pv = 99999
page = 1
for i = 1 to 200
oldpv = pv
!pv = @vdu%!-8
if pv < oldpv then
lprint "THIS IS THE HEADER FOR PAGE "; page
lprint
page = page + 1
end if
lprint "This is line "; i; " of text sent to the printer"
next
dump
Note that this can't work if you are relying on the 'word wrap' capability of LPRINT (unless you output each word individually), because if it wraps from one page to the next it's impossible to print the header part way through the output string.
Richard.
