In HyperCard 1.0.1, there is no way for a script to respond to a
printing dialog or to any other kind of dialog for that matter.
Whenever a script does something that puts up a dialog,  HyperCard
enters a tight loop waiting for the user to respond to it.  Thus,
scripts that do batch jobs must never do anything that brings up a
dialog or else they will hang waiting for user input.

We realize it would be better if scripts could respond to dialog boxes
or prevent them from being displayed at all, and we are looking at ways
to provide that ability in the next release.
