Folks,

I made a terrible mistake this afternoon and from inside
the IDL Workbench editor on my LINUX machine, chose to
"print" my IDL *.pro file.

A half a ream of paper later, my output lay on the
floor of the printer room. Is is *really* a good idea
to print the output with a light gray background in
58-point type, one side of the page only, with ABSOLUTELY
no page numbers!?

For God's sake...When I printed the same program from
a text editor, it printed on four sheets of paper in
double-sided format, in normal 12-pt type.

Does anyone know where this is controlled? Or, failing
that, the home address of the programmer who set these
as the default values. :-(

Steamed in a Stack of Streaming Paper,

David
