Is there any way for an ARexx script to get the full pathname of the file being edited? The DocName command doesn't return the full path of the document. I have been printing mostly in "High" quality and it takes quite a while to print multi-page documents. I'd like to write a macro to pass the file to another copy of ProWrite and tell it to print the file while I continue editing other files. It would be nice if the print routines were a separate process so that ProWrite wouldn't be hung up during a long print job (a spooler doesn't help here since all the time is consumed by ProWrite rendering the document). Also, I reported a bug a couple of weeks ago where ProWrite crashes when another application closes the WB. Has any progress been made with this? Is there any hope for a patch in the near future? It is painful (and hard to remember) to keep exiting ProWrite any time I need to run an application which closes the WB. Peter
