(hope this works, I've only posted once before)  munch.


Some questions from a novice Amigaphile:

1) Is there a way to create a workbench icon which when 'opened' would
   execute a sequence script rather than running a program?
   
2) What would it take to create an icon or window which you could drag
   file icons over and drop there with the resulting action being that the
   file represented by the moved icon would be printed?
2a)If not 2), is there a program (something like DirUtil) which allows
   mouse selection from a list of files and a print button which causes
   the selected files to be printed? (If not, I might try writing it,
   but I have an immediate need, and I'm still quite new at this.)

If you can answer any of these, I'd prefer to see answers posted,
but if you'd rather send me mail, that's okay too.
