I had forgotten that WordPerfect for OS2 was not widely used. Your
mention of
WP for DOS and Windows reminded me of that.

You are correct. I should have specified AP207 as the apparent active
object at the
time the printer driver malfunctions. AP207 has a command that dumps the
image
created by AP207 onto the current printer. I do use AP211 immediately
after the
printing to store the function that created the graphical image.
What I am doing is to use AP207 to write a program that designs a
graphical image
This program is an APL2 function. When the APL2 function is executed,
the image
is created in memory and can then be printed. The function itself is
then archived
using AP211 so that it can be retrieved and reused whenever there is a
need later
to modify the graph. All the APL tools are OS/2 native.
