Dear friends: May I ask for your help in writing a very simple shell script for the Print function. I have been using a lovely text editor called Cooledit for quite some time. It's a programmer's editor but can also be used for any editing. It is color coded so it's especially great when editing configuration files. The only thing that's missing from it is a Print function. I wrote to the author, who advised me to do the best I can or get someone's help in writing the shell script. I guess he didn't want to be bothered. Well, I clicked on Scripts, New Scripts, then was asked for for the name of the script, the menu item (no big deal here -- just typed "Print" in both cases), then hotkey (typed P). Now the biggie: I am asked for the argument. First, I don't know whether I can use Print as user or as root. Secondly, I tried to put "lpr" in it and then "etc/rc.d/init.d/start lp0". That didn't work, either. What argument would I use that would allow me to click on Print and have it print out any file I wish? And as user, if possible? Thanks so very much. Benjamin If you are at all interested in trying out Cooledit for yourself, you can get it from: http://www.netins.net/showcase/Comput-IT/cooledit/download.html (It's available as an rpm) Check the screenshots and you'll see why I like using it. If you do decide to use it, you need to know the following: After installing Cooledit, whenever you log into KDE, you see a message from Cooledit for another program called Coolicons. To get rid of this message, you need to go to /etc/X11/xinit. First, delete the pre-coolicon file, then open xinitrc and delete the section that has to do with coolicon. Thank you all so much.
