[NCL_END]
This NCL code in the [FileXfer] section loads a printer list file from
the file server at 192.0.0.192. The [PrnList] section sets up the
printer to return the modified file to the same location. The NextPrinter
command removes the first entry from the printer list, uses it as its printer
number, and tells the server to overwrite the old file. The printer number
is available as the constant %PNO.
For example, if the PrnList.txt file contains the following data: 1, 2,
3, 4. The number 1 is assigned and removed. The file is written back as
2, 3, 4 with the NextPrinter command.
