I am working on writing a standalone program to better understand the printing under M$. I have a fundamental question: 1. For the first attempt, it is enough to have a M$ application like behavior for Emacs on M$? On selecting "Print", display the dialog box to select the printer and set all the printer specifics and print the buffer. This is the normal way it is done in most applications on M$. I am exploring the GDI interface and seems quite structured (compared to other things on M$) -dky -- Contents reflect my personal views only!
