Seems there is a hesitantcy to answer non-complex questions on this BB, so
I will take a crack at this one.

Assuming that you have set up your printer specification using the Preferences
Tool you should be able to print any text type file by doing the following:
	1.  Open CLI from the Workbench
	2.  Enter the command "TYPE filename TO PRT:"
		(The colon may not be needed, but I do not have my DOS manual
                 with me.  The qoutes are not part of the command)
	3.  Repeat #2 for each file you want to print.
	4.  Enter "ENDCLI" to return to Workbench.

Hope this is some help to you, and I hope it will encourage others to answer
questions from those of us who are so mundane as to want to 'use' our Amigas.
