open printing, close printing, for print spool job

[Andre.Bisseret]

William,
I often use the following handler that allow printing all cards in a  
stack :
(usually a special stack devoted to printing).

  on imprimer
  put the cardnames of stack "stackDImpression" into cardsToPrint
   --answer printer
   open printing WITH dialog
   IF the result is "Cancel" THEN exit Imprimer
   REPEAT FOR each line tCd in cardsToPrint
     print tCd
   END repeat
   close printing
end imprimer

Hope this helps

best regards from Grenoble
André
