I can't believe it. I must've had head stuck in sand or something. But I accidentally printed off a 3-page vfp8 Method on my HP4550 color LJ instead of the usual B&W printer, and I couldn't believe my eyes. Color syntax prints out as displayed! It's beautiful!

Wonders never cease. Don't know how I missed hearing of this vfp8 enhancement before now, but it surely is nice.
