Simply use "revPrintField fieldDescriptor"

BUT !

1) use first :
revShowPrintDialog true,true -- shows both dialogs
so you can use the page setUp Dialog and the Print Dialog

2) fieldDescriptor = something like : the name of field "xxx"
and not fld "xxx"

3) if you want some text before or after your field then use "revPrintText" :

Š
--put something into myTx
put myTx into toPrint
put return & fld "xxx" after toPrint
put whatever into theHeader
put the short date into theFooter

revPrintText ToPrint, theHeader, theFooter


That's one way to perfomr it
There are other possibilities
But I find that the print possibilities of revolution are limited.
I used "PrintReport" XCMD in hypercard with much more formating possibilities.
I hope it comes soonŠ!
