How? Well, the way I do it is: a) open another window. b) run vi (or your editor of choice) c) do the cut 'n' paste thingy (highlight, paste into editor w/ middle mouse button) d) save the file to something. e) lpr -h (file) Prob won't work too well for graphics, but for text, it works great. If you have multiple screenfulls to print, just pipe the initial output to more (or less), and paste it over a screen at a time. > > Simon Hope it helps!! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good.
