The reason I am asking is that the particular lpr that we are running finds this charater and upon deciding that it is not an ascii char concludes that the file is a garbage file, and drops the job. I have ways to force lpr to accept the job, but I would like to know if this is a bug or is this char supposed to be there. <><> P.S. Can we please get back to talking about the NeXT computer.

What you see in this "%%Title:" line is the exact title of the window for that document. Jacob
