Re: [guide-user] Postscript change

That clears up the problem. Thanks Bill!

22 printer 0 0 ! PRN 0 0
This line has to be present in every "mar" file otherwise it just reverts to the
old line 22 when you load another mar file. So when you next start Guide the line
prints a portait file again.

Eliminating some of those lines in secondary "mar files" may have something to do
with the corrupted "startup.mar" file that I and others have experienced. ???
e.g. I have one "mar" file that has only a few lines -- a startup file that always
forces Guide to star up at my home location, epoch, altitude ,etc.
So now I need to have line 22 included. There are likely more that I need to add.
