Thank you, Jürgen!
Your explanation about the quotes was *very* helpful. *Very* grateful
for that! Your response demonstrates a model of interaction which
others could emulate to arrive at solutions faster, with less forum "chaff"!
I now have it working as I desired, using:
* set
printoptions=paper:letter,portrait:n,duplex:off,number:y,syntax:y,wrap:y,left:2pc,right:2pc,top:2pc,bottom:2pc
I was sure I had seen examples with the quotes, and that is why I was
using them. Now, I know differently!
