According to the manual entry for "open", I should be able to print a
directory full of .rtfd files by issuing the mach command

	open -a edit -p *

However, this just gives me garbage, even though 

	open -a edit file

opens the file correctly under the edit application, and printing from
edit then correctly prints the file.  What's going on?

Also, when I pring out the documentation, I prefer to print in portrait
(i.e. standard letter style) rather than the landscape mode (with huge
typefaces) that all the docs seem to be issued in.  I there some way
to specify portrait-mode printing when doing it from the mach shell?
(Assuming, that is, that I can get command-line printing to work at all.)

Thanks in advance,
Ken Mcdonald
