Mathgroup, I am running Mathematica V2.2.4 on a DEC 3000/400 with OSF/1 V3.2. I have experienced a number of problems, and I would be grateful for your assistance: 1. The "Magnification" option under "Print..." has no effect; 2. How do I print a notebook landscape? Using "lpr -Olandscape" as the print command in "Print..." does not work; 3. I have experienced problems with the notebook inserting unwanted ^X codes into the *.ma file. This may have occured when I converted an existing package into a notebook; 4. When editing in a notebook the editor sometimes goes a little mad: the cursor jumps to unwanted places, the delete key deletes the wrong thing, text gets inserted in the wrong place, etc. 5. When invoking Mathematica in terminal mode, by simply typing "math", rather than "mathematica", there appear to be problems with large postscript plots. I get an image appearing in a Motif window, which, once complete, vanishes, and leaves me with a core dump in the current directory. 6. The notebook front end is unstable - sometimes when modifying options, changing a picture size, etc., it crashes, leaving a core dump. My DEC 3000/400 has 96Mb memory, with the deferred mode of swapping enabled. Please help!
