At the moment, to print highlighted text in an xterm, I use something like cat > tmp [RETURN] [click middle mouse button] [RETURN] [CTRL-D] lpr tmp OR cat | lpr [blah blah blah.... ] You get the idea. Is there a better way? Say, an X client with some buttons to do different things with the current cut buffer (print, append to a file, pipe thru an arbitrary command, etc..) ? What about printing very large regions, do I have to build a server with increased internal buffer space? Is there no mechanism to transfer the buffer from one client to another by breaking it into multiple pieces that the server can handle ? Am I confused about what's really going on? Thanx! =============================================================================== Rob Shaw rjshaw@ocfmail.llnl.gov ===============================================================================
