G'day Joel; I have your changes in hand 8)

Joel Sutton stands accused of saying:
> Has anyone done any work on direct printing since 1.93pre ???

No.

I would be inclined to have all output sent to a file, and have a
hotkey of some sort which closes the file and sends it to lpr.  The
biggest problem is that there's no concept of 'closing' a print job or
file with DOS.
