Forgot how to send Plot directly to plotter

I used to be able edit a plot driver to make plot files, pdf's and/or send a plot directly to the plotter. It has been a while since I did that and now I need to send directly to the plotter. I remember modifying the line "defallt_outFile/auto_overwrite= "lpt1". I don't remember what else I needed to send to "PXXUSSND.........". I am trying to modify the hplg2.plt file. Please can somebody jar this old mind????

COMSPEC is a system var & DGN_PLT_ARCHIVE is one Idefine in my pcf as a location to archive (this one is commented in the pltcfg).

Hi Roy - I would like to try this out. Is there any chance you have this included in a PLTCFG and would be willing to post it?

Also, which configuration variables have to be set in our configuration? Just COMSPEC & DGN_PLT_ARCHIVE? How do you define COMPEC - I think that it the only piece that I really don't understand.

Thanks!
