Fantasia is really nice, but I never did figure out how it intercepts
the data midstream and regurgitates a bar code.  I could see how it can
prints a bar code that never changes.  I know how to hard code it into a
Fantasia environment file, that's easy.  However, the best I know how to
do is overlay blank forms in my environment files with fixed data
elements.

(It's a matter of my Fantasia skill level, you see.)

If you can tell me how it prints a variable bar code based on data, that
would really be a neat trick.  I have the 1996 versions of the manuals,
what page is it on?
