Thank you all for sending me mail about my WordPerfect problem. Greg German is our lucky winner - he had the right answer. If you go into WP's Select Printer Menu and tell WP that you want to print to a file (option 8) and then call the file lpt3 (or whatever your virtual printer is called), the file dumps straight to the printer - no exit to DOS required. This works for both 4.1 and 5.0, although the command sequence is different for each version. I'll be happy to answer any questions. Declan J. Fleming U of Ill.
