It will cause anything which normally displays on the screen to go to a file or device. The only device usually used is LPT1:, others can be dangerous.	Guest (0)

I have a neat little program called ExpPrint which allows you simply to right-click on the directory and it will print the contents of the directory (configurable). I got it at ourworld.compuserve.com but I don't know if the address is still good. If the address is not good, I'll send it to anyone who wants it (freeware). It's only 152K and works fine.	Guest (0)
