One of the command line switches on PRINT the first time you run it allows you to specify the depth of the PRINT queue -- you can expand it to as many as 31 files. > Mike Maxwell Clayton E. Cramer "You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brother- hood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot keep of out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves." -- Abraham Lincoln
