Sure. In fact revPrintText and revPrintField could be set up to do this, and I'm going to feature request it to the developers (in their copious free time ;-). It's not exactly done by drawing into an offscreen buffer, generally - instead you set up a stack (which can be hidden), place all your data to be printed in it, then use the print card command. (This command is the basis of Revolution printing.) In essence the stack is used as the offscreen buffer. -- Jeanne A. E.
