print text from a macro to a printer

Does anybody know of a way to let a macro print a piece of text to a
printer?

I want V7 to display a messagebox with some HOW TO comments and let
the user be able to print the contents of this box later. It does not
really matter if the text-string comes from the messagebox or from a
txt-file or from the macro itself. There really is not going to be any
interaction of the user. It's just going to be a HOW TO message, and I
want to be able to print that.

Also I would like to be able to put a little more text in the message
as in the MbeMessageBox. And Without the slider on the right. It is
not really working in a custom dialog.

I fixed it right the first time,
it must have failed for other reasons.

i've never actually done this with MS Basic--but I've done it with
C++.

Try opening a "file" for write. The file name is lpt1.prn (of course
this assumes you've got lpt1 mapped to the printer--I can't think of
another way.
