Hi all

Is there a way of redirecting a command say insted of saving a file I could send it to the screen or printer.

Used to have a command like this when I was using the old 'Amiga' it went like this 'file name >PTR:' is ther eany way of oing this in DBPro.

Yep Know that one, but as you guested what I want to do is send to the printer, wasn't there a way in the old DOS to this as I can't rember it; if there was.
