Massimo,

Ok, but and if computer has not LPT1 port ?

Perhaps, at least for Windows, when there isn't LPT1 port default device
should GetDefaultPrinter()..
Perhaps, too, we should can set device default for SET PRINTER TO...

 Thank you very much !

regards

PRN and LPT1 are device in their os

follow is a clarification on developer mailing list

It's platform dependent issue.
In DOS programs handler 5 is open for each application and points
to "PRN" device.
This is only DOS behavior which does not exist in all other OS-es
which do not give process any special 5 handler and you have to
open connection to given device. In Windows builds we explicitly
set device name to "LPT1" but in *nix builds is "|lpr" what means
PIPE to lpr process.
