Re: new in emacs

[ken]

I got this to work some years ago but it's a little hazy now.  
Basically, I found the command to print from the command line.  There's 
a lot of dust in that part of my brain now, but I think it was something 
like

nprint textfile.txt

If I found that to work, then I used that command in an emacs variable
called "print-command".  

Something in emacs and/or Novell might have changed since those 
dinos were walking around, so it might work differently now.  But that's 
the general idea.

HIW,
