    How do you plot from a plot file? I have looked through, and queried all
    help sources and can't seem to find an aanswer. Please can someone help....

    Quick and simple, at the DOS prompt:

    COPY myplotfile.prn LPT1: /b

    (I added extra spaces between words to make it more clear)
    The port can be any port where the plotter is connected. Could be a network
    share also.
    The /B indicates that the file sent is not plain ASCII.

    You can make a bat file out of this, making the plotfile name a parameter so
    you could use to plot any file.
    e.g. PLOT.BAT may contain
    COPY %1 LPT1: /B
    and use it as
    PLOT myplotfile.prn
