Re: Question: Strip.prn

[Richard Giering dick.giering@xxxxxxxx]

Hi:
 Thanks for the response - If I understand you
correctly, I can't do, with NB, what I can do (in
this regard) with XWrite. Is this correct? I
assume, then that with NB, my only choice is to
TYPES (type to the screen and I assume that
command is still available) and then save it to a
named file. I'll have to try that with the
various files (with the various functions:
margins, centering, counters, snaked columns, and
others). It will take some time to try all of
them, BUT ...
Thanks, Steve
