spool -- spool files for later printing syntax: spool [] [-z] [-x ] ex: spool ?:txt spool spool -z spool -x3 Queues files for background printing. Wildcards are allowed. You must remain in Davex until the printing completes, and you may not redirect output to the printer (see 'como'), since that would make a mess. Use the 'config' command to set the slot 'spool' will print to. 'spool -z' Zaps the spool queue (cancels printing of all spooled files) and formfeeds the printer. 'spool' shows a numbered list of files waiting to print. 'spool -x' cancels one file in the queue by number. NOTE: The text of spooled files is sent directly to the printer. This is fine for TXT files (and SRC files, and possibly some other filetypes). It is NOT fine for AWP files (try it if you want...it's sort of entertaining). A future Davex version will probably support spooling AWP files. For now, create a temporary file, 'pg' the AWP file into it, and spool the temporary file. Example: como temp;pg my.awp.file spool temp Spool does not work well with speech synthesizers; Davex does not have control while the system is waiting for keyboard input. Speech synthesizer users can use the 'wait' command to let spooled files print. (SPOOL stands for Simultaneous Peripheral Operation On-Line.)
