Set a default printer to LPT3 (AREV Specific)

We are using Arev 2.12 in a network environment and would like the default printer to be LPT3: instead of our local LPT1:. We only use the LPT1: for certain reports because most of the reports require special paper(11x17).
I can do a SETPRINTER 3 at the TCL, but the users get tired of that.
Who ever created our application has somehow hidden what starts our menu system. I thought it was an RBasic program and made my modifications there. This worked when I manually executed it, but I delete the object and this program and found that something else is executing our menu during startup.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Tad,
One option is to add the SETPRINTER 3 command to the startup VOC. This will automatically execute every time they log in and then they don't have to do it themselves.

At the TCL f5 Edit VOC BATCH(for lack of a better name)
SETPRINTER3
Then go into Management, Users, Secure User and define the logon verb as "BATCH" for the respective users.
This way it will be automatic

The original programmers working this application blocked account from seeing its configuration. When I logged into sysprog and looked at the configurations I found the Logon Verb (as you knew I would). Then I reran the application; modified the program that gets called from the Logon verb, with no change. After stumbling around and breaking the Logon verb being used, I found a duplicate copy of the program that gets called from the Logon verb. This program was hidden from me because right after the Account/User was started, it attached to a new directory for the programs and data which is where the duplicate and bogus called program resided.
Wow. Everything is working correctly now. Thanks for everyones input.
