1. Can I set the printer name from within xrn?
No, but you can use the "Save" button, and then when it asks for a
filename, type either "|lpr -Pprinter" or "|enscript -Pprinter" (the
first character there is a bar). You can pop up the Save dialog by
hitting the "Save" button, or by typing 's' or '|'.
2. When I post articles using follow-up or reply or Gripe,
this window entitled "Composition" comes up. However,
the function CANCEL is missing. So if I decide to send the
article, there is no way for me to cancel the article, is
true? It will be nice if cancel is included along
with "abort", "send", "save", "include file" and has
the highest priority so that one can cancel at any time.
You cancel an article after you have already sent it, not while you
are composing it. In order to cancel the article, you need to rescan
after you have posted it (so that xrn realizes it has been posted),
then find the article in the newsgroup to which you posted it and,
while viewing that article, click the "Cancel" button at the bottom of
the article-viewing area.
