Re: Print a background color different than screen?

Speaking of benefits of color - I'd really love for IBM to enhance the LPEX coloring for RPG. IMO, LPEX coloring for CL far exceeds that for RPG. RPG's multi-line coloring is often off (for things like a ReadE). Would be great to have coloring for BIFs, and also for procedures. But I've beat that horse since 5.1 w/o any luck.

I actually like printing in color...and coping and pasting in color for that matter... (I think it helps show the benefits of WDSC over
SEU)

But that's with a white background....I can see where having a black background would be problematic...

What we really need is a way to set independent color scheme's for printing vs. what's in the editor...still might be an issue with copy paste...though maybe black would look good there.

Cool, thanks Bryce! I also saw tokenized but ignored it.

BTW, here is what the help text says:
"Tokenized:  Highlighting effects used by the document parser to
display language elements are sent to the printer."

So, either it prints in black and white, or the colors as shown on screen.
That's a pretty dry way to say it. :)

I had already copied the source to a text editor for printing, so this
is for future reference.

Yes, it is.  I think I asked this same question a couple months ago...

Here is a link to do it one way....

There is also a command to do it, but I can't remember what it is.
