If you have a copy of microemacs with "Print" in the "File" menu, then
that sucker is old!  I ripped out all the printing code once I
realized I would never have time to do it right.  Besides, I can't see
the point of duplicating a feature hundreds of other programs already
have.

I always use Microsoft Word for printing text files.
