NOTES

To specify the name of a file to print, use the term file or alias followed by a string of the form "Disk:Folder1:Folder2:...:Filename"; for details, see "References to Files," which begins on page 144. You can also specify a string with only a filename ("Filename"). In this case, the application attempts to find the file in the current directory.
