Hi Suzanne, > I am simply unable to remember exactly what I am supposed to do to print

to dev$graphcap. In termcap, you specify both the name of the device as
you wish to use in the CL and the VMS print queue the output gets sent to.
For example, the existing "VMS default printer" entry consists of these parts
from two sections of dev$termcap: vmsprint|vmslp| :tc=vvprint: # Generic VMS printer queue.
vvprint|standard VMS host printer:co#128:li#60:\
D=sys$print:To add another alias for this device, put it on the "vmsprint" line separated
from the existing entries with a vertical bar. To have the aliases refer to
another device, change the VMS queue name that is defined in the DD string.Once you've edited dev$termcap, there's nothing to initialize for the changes
to be seen. After editing dev$graphcap however, you need to execute GFLUSH
or log out and back into the CL to reinitialize the graphics stream.Suzanne
