GDI printing enhancement - new variation of the //TEXTRECTANGLE directive:
//TEXTRECTANGLE, left, top, right, bottom, flags, text
This variation (identified by the six parameters) is both simpler to use than the traditional multi-part //TEXTRECTANGLE sequence, but also offers some additional features such as multi-line horizontal and vertical centering.
flags may be any sensible combination of the following:
