Hi Christoph:

    I'll review what you said.

    (btw, another option -- which I may have to use- is to build a pdf file 
at the server, and then send a link to the client to *that* file.  But this 
means I may have to save this file on the server, or maybe email file to the 
client. Both are unpalatable options for me.)

    (another btw:  I've never used/heardof @media screen or @media print. 
Will have to google that)

Thank you

-Mel
