**offlist** Re: Printing a web page on a kiosk

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is offlist because I hate to make a fool of myself in public.  :)

I have been messing around with this and am seeing a light at the end of 
the tunnel.  I can do _a_ page but sending the file name as a parm has 
stumped me.  It seems doable, and if I can make it work I will send up a 
balloon.

Adobe appears to have solutions but they are more technical than my 
brain will handle.

In any event, thank you for the challenge!!  Its stopped the boredom.
