Hi Sarah,

The revPrintField and revPrintText commands are not
designed to handle this. You could hack these
yourself, but unfortunately, the engine does not give
us a way to determine which pages the user wanted to
print.
I noticed that SuperCard 4.5 has a new 'printRange'
property. Naturally, I'm one of the people who hope
that this will be added to Revolution soon.
