        I have a network printer setup for native spooling.  I have an environment
file with an "<Esc>l66F" (Lines per page).  I create a test file in the
editor with 130 lines and using the PRINT command with a file equation
(including the environment) to convert it into a spoolfile.  I send it to
the print and it works the way I expect, 66 lines of output, skip to the
next page, and print more.  I then take a simply little COBOL program that
opens a spoolfile for output and does "WRITE PRINT-REC FROM REPORT-LINE
AFTER 2" to it, again using a file equation (including the environment).
When I send this to the printer it prints 67 lines, looses 3, and starts
printing on the next page ?!?

        So, does anybody have a guess why?  I don't (yet).
