  I'm looking to automate what I foresee to be a very tedious, but
  frequent process on my PC compatible. I  would like to use macro
  recorder, which comes with W3, since it seems to be a handy way to
  automate processes. Anyway, here's what I'd like to do:

	Ultimate Goal: print file on remote machine

	1. fire up Terminal, which then
	2. automatically logs into a mainframe account
	3. transfer a file to the mainframe
	4. print the file from the mainframe
  
  Simply buying a laserprinter IS NOT AN OPTION. This seems to be the
  only way (at this time, at least) that I can get laser quality
  printouts.

  It may be easier to use the same file name for every printout and
  just keep overwriting it. I am confident that once I get the file to
  the mainframe, doing a printout will be simple. Getting it there
  will probably be the hard part.

  Any suggestions?
