FIXED: FYI: hang while trying to print (not repeatable)

Hi Chief;
This issue occurred twice this morning, but after I printed the file with notepad, then came back here, RJTE is now working fine.
So I'm passing this along for historical reporting, in case it is of use to you - or if someone else reports it...
RJTE version 15.61, 64-bit
OS: Windows 10 Pro
I was trying to print a 2-line text file this morning, when I selected Print from the menu bar, I would get the Print Setup dialog, press Print button, then I would get another dialog that said something like "preparing to print", with an Abort button, but the program would just hang on that dialog forever, with a busy cursor (I waited a couple of minutes). After I clicked Abort, the entire program would grey out and continue to sit there hung. I ended up having to abort the program from Task Manager. I tried this twice, with same effect. I did *not* get the RJTE exception dialog, at any time.
I then tried using the debug version that you link to in this forum, but I could not run it, because a couple of DLL files were missing (rtl250.dll and jcl250.dll).
So I opened the text file in Windows Notepad and printed from there, with no problems.
But *then*, when I went back to RJTE, it now prints just fine...
I don't know what to make of this, but am reporting it to you anyway, for historical reference.
