It's been decided that this task would most easily be tackled by Set devi to file, letting the user know where we're putting it. Then they can print off or not the file, at their leisure, say from Windows, and we don't need to worry about USB printer or network.

The downside is that when you use that, when you close the output, it adds an eof marker (chr(26)) at the end of the file, which may cause trouble if you try to add to the file later - some software may take it seriously (append from command, probably, then some editors) and refuse to see anything beyond that marker.
