- Do not run this part of the demo if you do not have a printer connected!!

-
- You can print the entire file being edited or just a portion of it. Printing
- is normally 60 lines per page with a 10 column (1 inch) left margin and
- without a header or page numbers.
-
- VEDIT and VEDIT PLUS are supplied with the print "macro" PRINT.VDM which can
- be used to print an entire file with a header on each page. The header
- consists of the file name, the date and the page number.
