> The behavior Tracy is describing is NOT limited to Fantasia forms files.

> Yesterday:

> We are seeing 'reply requests' on the console for simple offline listings

> from Editor

> - I issue a file equation:   FILE EDTLIST;DEV=2839

> - I start EDITOR, text in a file and issue LIST 1/30, offline

> - a reply appears on the console and nothing prints until the replay is

> answered

> 

> Overnight we adjusted the 'sleep' settings on the printer (trying to get

> sleep turned off).

> 

> This morning:

> The printer is working 'as expected' (i.e. no replies being requested)

> I'm not saying that changing the 'sleep' settings on the printer caused

> the changed behavior, but it is the only think I know of that changed.

> I don't understand what the sleep settings on the printer would have to

> do with a reply being required.  (but I also don't know the deep dark

> interworkings of the spooler either)

> 

> 1) has anyone witnessed similar behavior?

> 2) exactly what causes the 'reply' requests?
