Sounds good, if I understand it.

(1) Yes, please do post your script.  WITH an example
  (cut & paste from the screen, ie what you do to
   actually DO it) -- "cookbook"-like.

(2) What effect will these things have when I 
    choose the FIRST thing (print to a file)
    on the p(rint)-page?
    (ie, no explicit script involved?)

thanks,

David

PS: your trn-notes are nice; any such notes for lynx?

(AND: what ELSE have you written nice notes for?)

(I wonder how many of us there are who use BOTH lynx
AND trn.  Seems like the same mind-set for both; if
you like one, you'll like the other one too)
