I'm trying to get the ImageWriter ][ to print onto 3x5 and 5x8
index cards (either handfed or tractorfed).

Since I don't have source code (nor a compiler, for that matter!)
I am working directly on a copy of the ImageWriter device driver
executable, image, or whatever you wanna call it.

I duly bought my copy of Inside Mac I, II, and III and found the 
description of the PREC data structure.  I then used ResEdit to 
modify the device driver so that the page and paper rectangles 
were the correct size for index cards.

But MALDICIONES! something, somewhere is resetting the values back
to full size pages, i.e. 8 1/2 x 11.

Where is this beast?  Also, how do I determine which radio button on
the style dialog screen uses which PREC.  In other words, I want the
style dialog box to display the correct paper sizes when I'm using my
doctored driver.  How do I do that?
