Hi,cEnsE,

Thanks for trying to help. But, this is one of those very rare instances in
which I think  you may have missed the mark.

The code in question

                                        ThePrinter = open("PRN","w")

has been pretty much copied directly from an example given in the Euphoria
documentation (see "open" in the docs).

The only difference being that I named the receiving variable differently, i.e.,
ThePrinter instead of Rob's file_num.

I did, however, try open("LPT1","w")   and open("prn","w") and a few other
things before harrassing the list with my question.

As I said, thanks for taking the time to try to help.

Regards,

Jim
