Any pointers >will be appreciated. Thanks. Easily done. ALT-P should get you to the Parameter Menu. Go to the "Capture File Name" item, and change the capture file name to PRN. If you want to make it permanent, go into config.tel and enter this line: capfile=PRN There may be an existing capfile definition, so be sure to find it and modify it if it exists. CUTCP is smart enough that the VT100 printer control codes will open and close the capture file. We use it here to provide "local" printing to a printer attached to a user's PC. --- Jim Gaynor - AgVAX System Manager - Academic Computing - Ohio State University VMS: UNIX: Disclaimer : All opinions expressed here are mine and only mine.
