As it was Robert's post, and as I don't have an up-and-running network
here (too late to boot the ancient PII to experiment; maybe tomorrow),
I'll leave that for now.

As I've said before, I haven't used Xy III in donkeys' years. Someone
else was having a problem printing from III, and Flash was helping
him, but we never heard how it turned out.
Please, people: if you ask a question and someone starts helping you,
stick with it and let us know what happens. And if you feel you'd
rather help someone off list, at least let us know the outcome.
I need to check this at the office, where I do have an HP attached to
a USB port, under W2K, and print to it from Xy. But that's Xy 4.
Meanwhile, III users, let's hear from you.
