	===================================

	Summary:
	Printing files printed to file (saved as .prn) as printer files.


	Problem:
	> I save some files as .prn because I couldn't print them at the time. 
	> how do I print these .prn files?


	Solution:
	Open a DOS box and type:

		copy filename.prn prn
	or
		copy filename.prn lpt1

	Be aware of these two things. 

	1. The .PRN file must have been made from the SAME printer or else 
	   you will print junk.

	2. If you use a special device, like I do, to use your printer 
	   through a USB port, this *will not* work. "Copy filename.prn 
	   usb" IS NOT a valid command.

	You can add a Generic\Text only printer to print .prn files.


	Additional information:
	To create a Generic\Text Only Printer:

	1. Double-click on the Add Printer icon
	2. Click Next
	3. Select Local Printer
	4. Click Next
	5. Select Generic, from the list
	6. Click Next
	7. Select FILE, from the available ports box
	8. Select NO, for this to become your default printer
	9. Select No, to print a test page.  If prompted, insert the 
	   Windows CD disk, to install the print driver.
