Easy.  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.

"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
