Re: Printing a file in Cygwin
Hi, Duke. Sorry that I'm responding a bit late. Maybe you've got your
own solution so far?

Here's my solution. I'm using VIM with Mutt (ie I have a line like this
in .muttrc).
set editor=vim
In the index or pager session I invoke the edit function of Mutt, which
is usually bound with "e". VIM launches with a message of my selection.
Then I use the save command ":w" redirecting the output to printer
(:w >> prn).
