There's a tech note on this (whose number I forget offhand), but essentially, a good way to give documents the name you want is to put up a window that says "Now printing ...", whose window title is the name of the document. There's also a description of this same situation in Scot Knasters Macintosh Programming Seacrets (the one with the spy in the cover). It also explains how to get the name of the printing document appear when printing though finder (instead of the "Document: Unspecified" or something alike), if my memory serves me right :). -- Tero Nieminen Tampere University of Technology n67786@cc.tut.fi Tampere, Finland, Europe
