	Get a hold of a utility writing by Andy Finkel called 'Control'
(or PrtControl, or ControlPrt); it has been submitted to Fred Fish I
believe.  This neat hack wedges itself in the DumpRPort command of the
printer device and brings up a requestor whenever a graphic dump is
performed.  The requestor allows you to play with all the input parameters
to the routine so that you can ALWAYS get what you want.

	Fortunately for V1.3 a lot of this type of control has been moved
to Preferences; don't know when it will be out though.
