Stephen, 

Is there some reason why you don't want to use the EDTASM commands that send the 
listing to a printer? If needed you can also send the assembled listing to a 
printer. 

Since you are running EDTASM on a Drivewire system, you should be able to use 
Drivewire as your printer which would make getting an actual paper copy simple.

Hi Robert, 

Thanks very much for your suggestion. I have seen folks speak about being able to do a lot of things with Drivewire 4, but I am a total newbie. As you may recall, I only recently graduated to Drivewire 4 from Drivewire 3, at your urging! I have never been able to find a "manual" for Drivewire 4 that outlines how to use its extra features. The only things that I've found are the most basic "Getting Started" or "How to Connect" types of things. I haven't found anything that details how to use the more advanced features. Is there a manual posted anywhere, or somewhere I can go to find out more? 

TIA!
