**Example:**

**MyPrinter  CLASS(AsciiPrintClass)         !declare custom printer object**

**NewMethod   PROCEDURE**

**           END**

**MySearcher  CLASS(AsciiSearchClass)       !declare custom searcher object**

**NewMethod    PROCEDURE**

**           END**

** CODE**

** Viewer.Init(AsciiFile,A1:line,Filename,?AsciiBox,GlobalErrors)**

** Viewer.AddItem(MyPrinter)             !add print functionality**
