--------
MacTerminal has an extremely useful function in the File menu which allows
any contiguous subset of the document to be printed.  This menu item is
labeled "Print Selection...".  To use it, select the desired text and
choose the menu item.

The question: Is there any editor or word processor which provides this
              function?  (If not, why not?)

The request:  Software developers (including Apple): This is extremely
              useful, especially during program development.  Please
              add this function to your editors.
