Thanks for the tip.
I bumped into the keyword PRINT_FILE for the WIN device. It was entirely too
easy!
DEVICE, Print_File = 'mydoc.ps'
Now all I need to get is a PostScript printer. I was surprised, by the way,
to learn that not all HP printers can translate
HP-PCL files. Surprise!
Thanks again,
Ben

How about one of the following:
spawn, 'copy mydoc.ps prn:'
spawn, 'copy mydoc.ps lpt1:'
Cheers,
