Jerrad,

We have tried this on both Suns and SGIs and it seems to work fine- here are
a couple of suggestions: 

1. clearing the dialog box where you enter the path and file name is a
bit tricky, and you might have characters entered but scrolled off the
window where you can't see them. Make sure when you are trying the
scond print that you don't have any extraneous charecters left over
from the first print in the text entry boxes (selecting the entire
contents and hitting backspace to make the black area go away should
delete everything).

2. is there something funny with the machine you are on? Try it on another
one to see if this still happens.

If you still feel there is a problem I need to know an exact sequence of
steps and keystrokes that will make the problem show up. Please tell
this to me.
