I have seen questionable results using these commands caused by specific network related setup problems... be carefull if you decide to go this route.

For example, if a printer server captures a network printer called LPT1...



*---- The Code Example


*-- printer options
m_printer_port=''
do form get_printer_port to jget
*--- LPT1.DOS (local printer) LPT1, LPT2, LPT3(captured printer) etc...
*--- whatever printer ports you want available

if jget='OK' && ok
jline= 'copy file '+jfile+ ' to '+ m_printer_port
&jline
endif
