   I would like to print a hard copy of a long black and white
   graphics window with Allegro Common lisp on my Mac II.  Selecting
   "PRINT" only prints out the first part of the graphics window.
   Is there a constant that I could change to print a longer
   continuous plot?  

Unfortunately, I think the only way to do this is to get into the
guts of the printing code and understand how it works.  This
is one of the Macs (and MACL's) known weaknesses.  With luck, some
future of MACL will have a nice hardcopy interface.  For now, you
probably have to resort to Inside Macintosh.

  sigh.
