Presumably because he normally uses a GUI file manager (Konqueror or some equivalent) and it would be convenient, if one already had a window open on some directory, to simply select "Print" from the menu to get a hardcopy of the directory listing, in the same format as it appears on the screen. Essentially, he's suggesting that a view of a directory in a GUI file manager should be considered a "document" that can be printed, just as one can print a web page from a browser or a text file from an editor. This seems perfectly sensible to me; I've never understood why file managers don't provide this functionality. Craig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
