165.0. "WPS-Printing features in .PRA-files" by COPCLU::JACOBSEN (Preben Jacobsen SPG-Copenhagen-Denmark) Wed Mar 04 1992 13:21

    Hi.
    
      	I have a problem/or rather a request for information on an old
    'undocumented feature' in WPS-PLUS.
    
    	It used to be possible to give a command in the control-blocks, an
    thereby having WPS look into the .PRA-file for a command with same
    name, and thereby getting the sequence printed. It was even possible to
    have this sequence replaced by a external file, o that the
    .PRA-fileentry really pointed to a larger file outside the .PRA-file,
    this allowed for expanding the area for esc-sequences.
    
    	Does anybody recall this feature.??

    I thought that one was documented....

    I didn't think that this WAS possible.... but it is now with WPS-PLUS
    V4.
    
    Try the WPS-PLUS conference for how to do it..., but there is a
    documented way to point a control block at a PRA entry that then points
    at a file which is included at print time.
