   Rob,   
   Someone in either the Windows echo or the Windows 95 echo wrote about a provran   
   called DOPDF .   
   I d/l'd it and learned it is a Print Driver that makes a PDF file on the HDD.   
      
   I have used for saving a webpage I was looking at in Firefox.   
   DOPDF saves images and text as a PDF that I can read later.   
   Even extra long webpages with a dozen or two dozen pages on it.   
   But as you wrote PDF's are no good for entering BASIC code .
