how to print "source file", plus a mild rant

[William J. Frost]

I got the same results as Bill Drew.  I thought the Bobs had reconfigured
their application preferences for HTML documents, so changed mine to
WordPad.  The source code still comes up in Netscape and Ctrl P prints
what the browser sees.

I suggest we move on to other topics.  With the time spent on trying to
use Ctrl P, we could have copied and pasted a dozen page codes.
