852.0. "Changes to P from read menu" by LEMAN::REGINA (Carrie's in the carrot land) Thu Jun 11 1992 12:42

    Why was the behaviour of printing from the read menu changed?
    
    In V2.4 it let you print and left you in your read. 
    
    In V3.0 it lets your print but, depending where you were,
    gets you back to your index or window mask or switches
    to the next selected message.
    
    Is this mentionned in the doc somewhere? Our pilot 
    users stumble over it and ask why and I prefer official
    answers.    
    
    Thanks

	The behaviour of Print during a Read was changed in order to fix reported problems. The operation would intermittently fail depending on the type of document being read, the type of formatting performed during the Print, and how much of the document you had read when you did the Print. The most frequent failures were seen with WPS-PLUS documents. When the WPS-PLUS formatter opened the document to format it for the read it could not open the document again to format it for the print. We fixed these problems by making a print during read terminate the current read operation so that the document would be closed and therefore the print would always work. We did this knowing that we were introducing a change in behaviour but felt that it was best that a Print during Read always worked. Richard
