I have all three Adobe books and have tried to infer one thing in particular to no avail. How do you concatenate several strings together into one in PS? A small example would be worth a thousand words. I have tried "copy" and "put" but my programming environment is becoming a real source of frustration. My big problem is that I have to write a program, send it out over the network to a laser printer and then walk down to the printer to see if I got some printout or not. If I screwed anything up I get no output at all. It makes debugging a real pleasure. Has anyone found some more reasonable alternatives to this scenario? I have UNIX or MS-DOS at my disposal but so far nothing that can display PS but that laser printer. Thanks. Jerry
