Mike,

Call 'gpr' when you select "print

errrrrr.....opps...

Call "gpr" when you select "print" after clicking on a file.  I'll try to do
some fancy work and determine if the file is a printable file or a binary file
and then exit with an error message if it is binary.

Setting up the printer port should be a separate utility, like the "port" util
in Multi-Vue.  All the printing utility will do is allow the user to select
some page layout defaults like margins, headers, and such and then call the
printing routine passing these settings as command line parameters.  The "port"
utility should allow the user to setup the device descriptor a la
xmode.....turn on/off linefeed, set the printer device, and so forth.  The
"port" utility should be smart enough to change the fields shown depending upon
if it is a serial or paralle port being configured.

What do you think?

Mark
