Lets see now, Jim R buys double window envelopes at $.05 each at
Walmart and folds them so both addresses show through the windows. Once
it's set up in the print commands and you learn where to fold ........
it's just a routine.

You buy single window envelopes (?), preprinted with return address for
$.05 and (did you figure in shipping charges?) fold them so one address
shows through the window (?). Or, how do you get the customers address
on the envelope?

......... that doesn't sound like a big difference.
