Thanks guys. As I commented to another Commodore-Amiga person, by mail,
the program isn't exactly a spooler and you can certainly do the same thing
with lots of command lines. But in my startup-sequence I open a newcli with
newcli con:400/10/240/50/cli
that hangs up in the top right corner of my screen. If I want to print something
I open that window and type, for example,
print mand.h mand.c mand1.c mand2.c mand3.c mand4.c
and then go back to the previous window wherein I am typing a reply to some
mail or reading this news over the phone line with my hacked up version
of the amigaterm program that was posted a while ago. And I can forget 
about the printer until it's done.
Actually, the program started as an exercise in opening, using and closing
a device and then evolved to the print program. It'll probably get worse as 
time goes by and I try to fiddle with the text justification and plotting
features on my printer.
