20030724: printing the ps file "myfile" i created



Dusty,

Use the OUTPUT parameter in SNLIST with OUTPUT=f/myfile.
Then just open the resultant file into your document.

Your sysm administrator would have to tell you what printers you have
available to you in your lab. The general command is "lp myfile.ps",
but I can't tell you what your default printer is. If you know
the name of a specific printer, then you would specify
"lp -dmyprinter myfile.ps".

You should have the "gs" command (ghostscript) on your Linux system,
so you should be able to view the postscript file with "gs myfile.ps".
