I don't know where it is stored but apparently not in the text file EAs.

If I print Text File A with 1" print margins and then open Text File B,
the print margins will be 1". If I then change the Text File B print
margins to 1/4" and then close it and open Text File A, the print
margins are now 1/4".

So the values are stored somewhere, but not in the actual text files.

Hmm. Let me run a quick test . . .

[9 hours later]

Well it wasn't the "quick" test I expected but apparently the margins
are stored in \OS2\EPM.INI in the key EPM.MARGINS. So I can do some
more "quick" testing tomorrow and see if manually changing the value
will change the margins, and if so I can write a little Rexx program to
jam in the values I want.
