When you print your TXT files, you will have your VFP app (perhaps even a seperate, standalone 'mini' app?) handle the printing. I think you're going to need yet another technique for printing HTML if you want to control landscape vs. portrait output.

With TYPE command suggested by you yesterday I can use PROMPT option. I'm thinking, may be it's the easiest alternative. I haven't made my mind yet. I also want to fix the other problem with my file selector form before attacking this one.
