}>Pipes are simple now. for 'ls -l a b | pr >/dev/lp', you do:
}> double-click ls

}> drag pr output icon to printer icon
}> drag ls output icon to pr input icon
}> select a and b and drag them to ls input icon

}The problem with selecting a and b is that how do you tell the
}application that there are no more parameters, and it should start
}working.
Click a then b with the right button, pick them both up with the right button
and drop them in place. The left button is used to pick up just one file,
and clears any outstanding right button selections.
