yes.  I saw you got some instructions on the commands to key, but here's
what we do.

we use a scanner and adobe photoshop to create the logo's.  we scan them
at a high resolution, so they come out crisper.  (we use 500)

then we create the document using microsoft word.  we print to the apf
print file, and take the options, like in the other reply you got.

we then move the prn file to the as/400 using windows explorer, open the
as/400, open qdls, and open your folder.  from there, you can copy and
paste.

from there, do your cpyfrmpcd and the crtovl.
