Steve - You could create the layout outside the screen extents, essentially
hiding it. This example uses the 'Position' clause to create it at 100,100:
Layout
Position (100,100) Units "in"
Width 8.55208 Units "in" Height 5.41667 Units "in"
Set CoordSys Layout Units "in"
Then you could issue PrintWin and Close Window commands to print and close
the layout:
PrintWin
Close Window FrontWindow()
