Hi! I'm currently looking for a way to print the text buffered up in an xterm. What I would like to happen is this: 1) user selects "Print Buffer" out of one of the xterm menus 2) all the text in the scroll buffer gets printed on the user's default printer I figure the only way to achieve this is to dive into the xterm source. However, having had a quick look at the source (and the warnings - "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here") I've realized that this not going to be easy. Does anyone have any advice - like where in the source to look for access to the buffer contents? I think that this would be a universally useful feature since the only other way to print xterm contents would be to use the logging feature and printing the log file. I would be happy to hear *ANY* suggestions! Thanks for listening, Susan
