No.  We've allready covered that.  Any redirection or CTTY or
DOORWAYing will still work.  CTTY PRN seems hardly a useful
command unless you've got an AI printer though.  I just tried
4DOS with CTTY over a null link and it works fine.  I've been
using 4DOS with direct writes for 2 years with no problems at
all.
