I'm afraid I have a bug in a program in a printing routine.  I want to
generate information a few pages at a time, and have (modal) dialogs
come up between page groups.  This is all to be sent to the printer as
a single print job.  How should I manage the screen port and the print
port?  I put in SetPort() calls as I switched around, and all seemed
to work well.  Then I added an abort option, and very occasionally the
program hangs when quitting.  It still operates OK.  Of course it never
bombs while in the debugger.  How should I handle this, or can I just
ignore it all?  Any references to read up on this?  IM and TN have been
little help.
