It's annoying but it's the way PRINT is supposed to work. Up till
the new release, WP always ran on the WorkBench screen.  Now you
can run it on its own custom screen, as you've discovered. However
all of WPCorp's other Amiga products can use the PRINT program so
when invoked, PRINT opens up on the WB screen.  Suppose you were
printing from WP, and then decided to run P-Edit or CAL or NB and
print from them but you wanted to close WordPerfect? Well if
PRINT's window was on WP's screen horrible things might happen. So
PRINT lives on the WorkBench screen when it's running so that the
other WP products can  use it at the same time, and after using it,
any of them can be shut down without causing fireworks.
