No, it was flpsed. Do you know that flpsed is scriptable? Create a postscript file. Open it in flpsed. Create a tag on the document by clicking at the insertion point and go to the Tags --> Edit Tags menu. Name your tag, rinse repeat. For the example below I created two tags, soup and main. Save your changes as a postscript file. This file is the template file for your script. Here is a script example; flpsed -b -t soup=mushroom -t main=roast menu-template.ps menu.ps lpr -P Printer menu.ps Cheers Ross Drummond
