Re: email printer file: how to suppress page breaks

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Joel.

My SPLTOOL (www.bvstools.com/spltool.html) software has this option.
The default is to act like you're seeing in your application, but with
a change of a data area it can behave to not include all those extra
blank lines in the document.  MAILTOOL would also be required if you
wanted to email as well.
