I don't think you want to use AFPDSLINE - there was a nice set of sample 
AFP stuff a while ago - I may have a SAVF of it, I bet someone on the 
list does. The logo was in, I think, a PAGSEG - page segment - and those 
are movable on the page.

I don't think you can use O-specs - have to have an externally-defined 
printer file - I've not used O-specs in maybe 15 years, love PRTFs.

BTW, if you think you want to use RLU for creating PRTFs, don't - it 
can't do it. CODE Designer can, as well as the new stuff in RDp.

You might be able to use O-specs with an OVERLAY object, but I don't 
know that for sure. You could use OVRPRTF to get and overlay applied to 
your spooled file.

And now I'm guessing this stuff!

For that library, look for a library called QSAMPLER - maybe google it, 
or look in the archives - I think it was mentioned not that long ago.
