All notesfiles systems I've seen (except for the oldest) include a command to
pipe the current note to a program. On some, it is '|', on others you use the
save command, 's', followed by a shell command line beginning with '|'. In any
case, its an easy hack. Just do a popen() when you see a '|' in response to the
save command. Then pipe the note to lpr or whatever...
