There are two ways to do what you want (actually there are probably a million
but for the sake of this discussion there are two!).

The first and best way is to set up your WP5.1 printer to write to a file.
In printer setup (shift F7 S) highlight the printer you want to use
(PostScript) and hit E for edit. The section PORT (P) gets you a selection
list and the last one (O) is Other and will prompt you for a file name.

The other approach is to get a program like LPTX which you run before you start
WP and it captures EVERYTHING sent to the LPT port and puts it in a file.
Then after you print you exit WordPerfect and run LPTX to close the file and
presto. This approach is useful for application without print-to-file
ability but I don't recommend it for WP!
