Printing
Another way of printing
You can often print a file by dragging its icon and
dropping it on the printer icon on the icon bar.
1 Follow step 1 from the previous section
For example, load Edit.
2 Open the directory containing the file's icon
For example, open the
TestFiles1
directory on
your workdisc, that you created in the previous
chapter.
You will see an icon for the file
EditTest
. You
don't need to double-click on it.
3 Print the file
Drag the file's icon over the printer icon on the
icon bar and release the mouse button. Your file
will print out.
Try this with the file
EditTest
.
Not all applications allow you to print this way,
however. Check either in the RISC OS 3 User and
Applications Guide, or the manual supplied with
the application.
