I assume you mean you hold and release the printer queues. The spooler
enable/disable is global.

What you want is an interface to SplHoldQueue and its friends. These are
part of the PM subsystem APIs. There might be a REXX DLL that would
support this, but I've never looked. Google might turn something up.

Alt-Space is the standard way to open the control menu. You can go from
there.
