Subject: Printing and Windows

One of my users is having problems printing Pine stuff via ProComm Plus
for Windows.

For example, say he wants to print one of the help screens... he gets the
screen up on his display and presses L.  The Windows Print Manager is
started but nothing is printed.

Ok, so he tries to use the "Capture" facility to log the session.  Only
the first screen and the last screen appear in the log, even if all the
help pages displayed on his screen.

Any ideas?

BTW, we have had no problems using ProComm or ProComm Plus in DOS.

Try the "Capture" facility in conjuction with the "attached-to-ansi" Pine
print option.  I use Zterm to connect a Mac to a NeXT. The "attached-to-ansi"
and "Capture text..."  writes the message to a file which I print later.

P.S. Forwarding and Replying still randomly result in a Segmentation fault.

Many terminal programs have to be told to capture upon receipt of the
screen "clear" character instead of as the material scrolls off the
screen. That solved the problem for me on a couple of different programs.
There are a zillion options to pcplus, I don't know where they hide that
one, but I am certain they would support it.

good luck,
Alan
