When I compile the printer file using the Compile (Prompt) option, the default page size values for me are 66x132. Since I have already specified the page size, would it make sense for RDi to display those values in the CRTPRTF prompt? That would be easier than looking at the header documentation or prompting the CHGPRTF command in green screen. 

Craig Rutledge has a tool for this:

You might also consider Alan Campin's COMPILE preprocessor but it'll
take a bit of work to add printer file support to the up front compile
command.

There may be an RFE for RDi to 'remember' the specifics for each
separate compile [i.e. member A has dbgview(*source), member B has
dbgview(*list)] but I couldn't quickly put my finger on it.
