          CHARACTERISTICS:


               You  can  use  MFDPRT to create a sequential file so you can
          have printed copy of any block on any mounted device.


               MFDPRT is both re-entrant and reusable.


               MFDPRT is control C (^C) interruptable, if CTRLC is  SET  on
          the user's terminal.


               MFDPRT  will display the PPN designation in octal format, to
          be consistant with the operating system.


          EXAMPLES:


               .MFDPRT DSK1:
               MFD print on device: DSK1:
               MFD print has been initiated on log-device:DSK1.MFD
               Printing output file.
               Output file completed.
