NAME
Fx:Print - Routines for basic ASCII printing support.
 
SYNOPSIS
Fx:Print <list of lines>
Fx:PrintFile <file name>
Fx_PrintDialog <instance name> ?-toplevel <toplevel>? ?-title <title>?
 
DESCRIPTION
Fx:Print accepts a Tcl list of lines to be printed, prompts the user
for the name of the printer (or file), then outputs each element of the list
with an appended newline.   Fx:PrintFile accepts a file name and prints
the file.   
- Fx_PrintDialog displays a dialog for the user to select
- 
the method of printing.    The typical command sequence for using
Fx_PrintDialog with Fx:Print or Fx:PrintFile
is:
 
    global fx_config
    Fx_PrintDialog dialog -toplevel "" -title "Neat printing"
    # Fx_PrintDialog doesn't return until user is finished
    if {$fx_config(cancel_print) == 0} {
        catch "Fx:PrintFile $fn"
    }
 
DIAGNOSTIC
You must specify a list of formatted lines that are ready to output.   Fx:Print
does not try to determine whether lines are too wide.
