First, I want to make sure I made myself clear on what I wanted to do. On the particular disk, I put in the zip drive I have 41 icons showing in four columns. In OS 9.2, I could hit print and out would come a sheet of paper showing all 41 icons, although I couldn't see all of them on the screen.
In OS 10.2.8, I want to do the same thing, just print out a sheet with all 41 icons showing. If I use "Grab" I can't do it.
If that was understood, my question is, what is a terminal type 'cd' and how do I open it?
Thanks

One I use, whose name escapes me now, is on every MacAddict disk because they ship a complete disk catalog (from #1 to that issue) in that format on each disk.
