Re: [newbie] Printing the root folder including the corresponding folders
Try the tree command. It's basically a clone of the old DOS programme. For details: $ man tree You can send the output to a text file for printing (or directly to a printer if you really want): $ tree filename Note that if there are many files this can take a *very* long time.

Re: [newbie] Printing the root folder including the corresponding folders
How about ls -lR | grep drwx lp or whatever the printer re-direct is. It may not be as pretty as you like it, but it's a start. You could write a script to re-format it.

Re: [newbie] Printing the root folder including the corresponding folders
Roman, You're talking about printing a tree of folders? Nice idea. Can't see myself using it a lot, but what the hey. How about the option of customing the right-click menu for just about anything, or for repetitive jobs. Kinda like a wizard that sees the things you do most, and allows you to put them into the right-click menu?

Re: [newbie] Printing the root folder including the corresponding folders
I would like the option of customizing the right-click menu. Sort'a like a kpanel for right-clicks. I like it already. Gotta get to work.
