I want the print cmd to do the equivalent of $ localprint %s On my machine, 'localprint' is a script that sends its argument (a filename) to the terminal. My terminal has a printer attached to its auxilary port. Note that 'localprint' is a script which runs without error from the shell outside elm. However, from within elm it doesn't have any output at all. I then tried specifying a script called 'testprint' that merely echoes its args. #------- echo the arg of testprint is $1 #------- I specified the elm print cmd line as 'testprint %s'. Still no output. What's the problem? And therefore what's the solution (if the problem is tricky)? -- -- my .signature is awaiting appropriate display technology --
