Printing with smaller text

You can print smaller text through Emacs, using the menu command

     Tools > Print > Postscript Print Buffer

Alternatively, you can use "a2ps" instead of "lpr", for example:

     a2ps file1

Emacs help

A GNU Emacs reference card is well worth printing when learning to use Emacs.

Floppy Disks

Put the floppy in the drive and type:

     mount /mnt/floppy

The floppy files will now appear in that directory, so you could copy files to and from your home directory:

     cp /mnt/floppy/fromHome.java  ~
     cp ~/java/takeHome.java  /mnt/floppy
     ls /mnt/java

When you have finished, before removing the disk, it should be unmounted.

     cd ~
     umount /mnt/floppy

The disk can now be removed.
