Ed,

I imagine your tech simply created a "shortcut" for you. Or, since you
are printing from the XyWrite driver, perhaps he created a batch file.

Those LaserJet II's last forever, don't they? Until recently, we still
had one going, long after the III's and even a 4 met their deaths. Ah
well.

Very easy. To create a shortcut, you click on my computer, click on
view, to arrange icons by _type_. Then, click on view details. You will
then quickly be able to find editor.exe. Right click on it, and drag it
to the desktop. A dialog box will appear asking you whether you want to
move, copy, or create a shortcut. You want to create a shortcut. As for
batch files, "Created by professional on a closed course. Do not
attempt."

May your Trojans fare well against Duke tonight!
