Get Out Of Jail Free!

Hi,

I want to print the file on the screen (or should I say STDOUT?
But I would like to have a hotkey that prints that command line. Is it
possible?
It will be more simple than printing a long line, even though I remember it.

Teddy,
orasnita at home.ro

You can redirect out to your print spool with the greater than
symbol as follows:

tail myfile > /dev/lp

Notice that redirection is more useful than hotkeys because you
can also redirect output to a file or another
process/application.
