You're absolutely right. I wasn't thinking working code, I was tracing 
the "66", and I left out the braces. Carelessness. Trying to figure out 
why "66", "82", and "whatever" were all being used by different programs.

Yep! I like the thePrRecHdl&..prJob.iCopies% notation; it specifies that 
you're looking at the print job subsection of the print record. But I've 
seen way too many programs use {[PRHANDLE]+_iCopies%}, which of course is 
way off. And AFAIK (I haven't tried it) you can't use 
PRHANDLE..prJob.iCopies%, but must assign a handle of your own to point 
at PRHANDLE. I was trying to give a "one liner".
