Hi there,
I am trying to understand what in the world this error message can mean:

I am trying to print from ImageMagick display, but it always reports an
error, without saying what the error was or what command it was trying

The man page talks of setting X resources, but display does not accept
-xrm on the command line and I can't find w

Hi everyone,
using the xemacs print command, my fext files end up starting exactly
at the edge of the page and being difficult to readj. I'm trying to
figure out a wayto get xemacs to use enxcript or some other formatting
tool to do the actual printing -- but it's not obvious how t

The Bash-specific solution already proposed:
for (( i=0; i<80; ++i )); do echo -n '*'; done; echo
has the advantage that, since "echo" is an internal command, the
entire loop

Ooh! My turn:
$ yes '*' | head -n 60 | xargs echo | sed 's/ //g'
I'm sure that's optimizable somehow, but I haven't really looked at it yet.

for ((i=0;i<80;i++)); do echo -n '*'; done ; echo
I don't know about bsh or

I have a print system working with samba. I have now created a user
"printing" and moved all of the scripts to it's /home/printing.

Okay, this may not be the best forum, but I know that some of you have run into
this before...
I'm using Netscape on a network. I have a printer set up (lp35) to which I can
print things just fine from, say, enscript (using -Plp35). However, the same
-Plp35 returns an "unrecognized option" error
