I would like to be able to pipe the contents of the highlighted
selection in a terminal window (xterm or dxterm) into various commands,
principally lpr. This would give me a "print selection" capability. Any
solutions out there? BTW, I am running ultrix 4.0 / DECwindows, but I
have the R4 clients.

Forgive me if this is a simple question - I have checked the FAQ without
success.
