It will give much more control on the output, but at the expense of further coding (and you said you wanted to minimize the changes...).

The reason why the NOWAIT is required is because the preview window is normally modal, and it waits for a user action to proceed (to print or to close). Being modal, it does not react to your RELEASE WINDOWS code until it releases itself (when it is already too late).
