One of the apps is WP6.2b. I have four objects to run it: full screen,
fullscreen w/fax, two in windows, one of those I fiddle with. The print
settings are 15, 5, 15, 2 respectively. Another app is Money Counts,
full screen, print delay = 2.

The thing that really puzzles me is what I call priming the pump. Once
I issue a print command and close that session, every other DOS session
prints normally.
