That is why the string of comments is 6 characters long.  That way you
should be garanteed to get at least one match.  I tried making the
line 10 or 12 characters long, and it still failed.  I also tried
changing the (%%%) to something else like (***)  and changing the
line of comments to
%***********

This failed also.

What I cannot understand, is why this works on a PS-810, and Apple
Laserwriters, but fails on the NEC 890. (and only the nec 890 to my
knowlege).  I know that things worked flawlessly on my PS-810, but
failed on the nec 890.
