Hi Reza,

True, if your printer doesnt't print farsi character with dos, you cannot use that way.

But if your printer use farsi character in dos and however you cannot still print farsi character it would be about dos-windows codepage difference.

in that case use:
STRTOFILE(CPCONVERT(CPCURRENT(1) ,CPCURRENT(2),FILETOSTR(m.xfile)),m.xfile)
