I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want to do, but here goes.
If you have a mapped network drive, it has a drive letter on the
source computer, say H:. Thus in the Print statement, just use
that letter, i.e.
Print(File("H:\rambo.txt")
One way to see what drive letter to use is to look at the left
panel in Windows Explorer. For example on my tradestation
computer, I see
C on 'pc01'(G:)
D on 'pc01'(H:)
among other entries. In other words, the machine running TS
has a mapped drive G: which is actually the C: drive on the
machine with network name pc01.
On the computer with that drive local, it will have a drive letter,
probably C: or D:. Thus, for example, to look at the file
written by the example Print statement in a DOS window,
given my network configuration, I would use the command on pc01
type D:\rambo.txt
If that's not what you meant, ask the question again with more
detail. Or maybe my explanation is too terse; but it is late.
