An old whinge, but one I think worth repeating.  Not only does MetaCard/Rev
not allow a program to access this information, it also does not allow a
program to set it.    Other environments (eg RealBasic) do, at least to the
extent of allowing apps to save a setup.  As a result I have some RealBasic
apps which I've not been able to move over to MC/Rev.  I do wish that better
printing support could be added.
