The PRINT command does not require a process creation (expensive on
MPE) whereas FCOPY does. The record size of print is limited to
512 bytes (I think), and I don't know what FCOPY's record size
restrictions are.

The new NONUM PRINT options tells PRINT to treat the file as unnumbered,
even if it would otherwise be considered a numbered file.
