Thanks so much roboticus

I copied your code above but on the output it still only prints the first line to the document. I wonder if it may be something in the main program that is trying to print everything onto one line and its not showing everything in the .eps file?

I put in a print $txline just before the return statement and the output is fine, its just not getting everything to the document or the document is just putting it all on one line and not showing all of it. I'm thinking it must be the latter since it all prints fine on the console.

I think the problem is with the following lines in the main program:


$text = &getLetter;

$line -> text (40, 610, $text);

Maybe I need a nested while loop that would update the y position of the text so that each line will print on its own line. What do you think?

Thanks so much for your continued help and advice

Carl
