Damn! You've beaten me to it. This was going to be one of those
glorious moments when I could repay some of the guidance received
from him because I actually knew more than one Dave Symes, having
known that it's the real name of the printer model - not the PDF -
that needs to be inserted. (And I only knew that because Ian Hamilton
had kindly guided me through it when tackling a TurboDriver version
for SA-VRPC.)

Glad it's working - I did promise you it would.

I found the T.O.M.S. manual for the VRPC more helpful than the manual
that comes with the program.
