OS X Printing?

OK, another OSX question...

Under MC 2.4.1/OS X... I created a new stack and pasted in my usual
"printing" script, which was lifted verbatim from MetaCard 2.3.2 itself
(adapted from the Print Field stack.)  I then discovered that when I tried
to use it I ended up in an infinite loop and nothing printed.

I looked at MetaCard 2.4.1's printing script (the way "Print Field" is
scripted) and it's not the same as under 2.3.2.  It's similar but it's been
rewritten.

Since I know that the Print Field menu choice under MC 2.4.1/OX X works (I
tried it), I know that I can spend an evening figuring out how to modify its
script so that I can just print a variable... But if someone else has
already done this, would you consider posting it here?  If not, I'll post it
here after I've rewritten it.  I just don't wanna reinvent that darned old
wheel, if I don't have to...
