4.2.6  Print...                                               TeraDesk

If a printable file is selected, the file will be printed.

If  no  objects  are  selected,  a listing of the top window directory
will be printed.  Amount and order of  information  shown  will depend
on the   settings in the  'View'  menu  (it will be the same as on the
screen).

It is  possible  to select  more than  one object before invoking this
menu item.  All files will be printed in turn.  Printing order will be
the same as when viewed as 'Unsorted' in a directory window.

If a viewer window is topped, the file in this window will be printed.

You can modify the behaviour of the operation in the Copy and print...
options dialog.

If so set in the  Copy and print... dialog,  The copy info dialog  may
appear in which additional printing options may be set:

- Printing can be redirected to a file. If this option is checked, the
  file selector  will appear in order to  perimt the user  to select a
  print file. Default filename extension for the print file is .PRN.

- If files are printed, one of three printing modes can be selected:

  .Text mode: files printed  will be  considered  as text  files,  and
   carriage returns/line feeds  will  be  inserted  upon reaching  the
   specified  printer line length;  lines longer than this length will
   be wrapped.  If a file being printed  is recognized  as a  program,
   printing mode will be temporarily switched to hex-dump (see below).

  .Hex-dump: files will be printed formatted identically  as in a text
   window in hex mode.

  .Raw data: files will  be sent to the printer  as they are,  without
   any modification.  This mode is convenient for printing print-files
   created by applications.

In the current version of Tera Desktop,  all printing  is done through
GEMDOS, using the Cprnout() function.

If you are running Tera Desktop in low or medium screen resolution and
TOS 1.0, this menu item may not be visible because  of the limitations
of this  TOS version.  In that case it will be  available only through
Keyboard shortcuts.
