Why must *any* of these be done manually (or, missing widgets)?:-)

Printing an envelope in Rev requires two steps:
1. Lay out a card the size of the desired envelope and put two fields on it,
one for the recipient's address and one for the return address.
2. Issue this command: print this card
All single-page forms can be handled in the same manner. If the data is
stored elsewhere, just have a loop that gets the data from whatever source
you have it in and puts it into the fields before issuing the print command.
