Mark,
I like your solution. It is certainly more succinct
than mine was.
>From your code, it appears that IO is set to equal $I
before PRE-OPEN EXECUTE code it set. I didn't realize
that the variable ION was set to the device name.
We have a HP laserjet 5. I haven't tried sending it
escape sequences (as you seem to be doing.) When I
tried to choose subtype that was 12point, it didn't
print right. What are you doing with those escape
sequences?
