I'm new enough to the net not to know if this is the case of a nice RTFM,
neither to know if I should post this directly to you or following up into
the net. Anyway, this is what I'm doing now, and it is too late for you for
doing anything about it.

On the manual page about PRINT SELECTION the syntax of the command is pretty
clear, and it states (I'm not quoting because I have the italian version)
that if you do a 
PRINT SELECTION() or a PRINT SELECTION([MyFile]) 
it will put up the Print Setting dialog boxes, but if you do a
PRINT SELECTION(*) or a PRINT SELECTION([MyFile];*)
it won't. Was this your problem? If so, not too difficult, isn'it?
If it wasn't, please excuse me for my rudeness.
