Rob,
Someone in either the Windows echo or the Windows 95 echo wrote about a provran
called DOPDF .
I d/l'd it and learned it is a Print Driver that makes a PDF file on the HDD.

I have used for saving a webpage I was looking at in Firefox.
DOPDF saves images and text as a PDF that I can read later.
Even extra long webpages with a dozen or two dozen pages on it.
But as you wrote PDF's are no good for entering BASIC code .
