Thanks, Jeff.

I messed up that earlier reply attempt. Even if this can't be accomplished in XY3 directly, there
may be some port-redirection service at the OS-level, that can be used for print jobs. I may be
confusing the one in Win with the one in OS/2, but _one_ of them may be called something like
PRINTMON. Even if that is correct, this service may not work for a program running in a DOS VDM.
(In OS/2 it very well might, but this is for XP, and there I tend to doubt it.) Will need to brush
up on this.
