Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	print a file in matlab using the print('printername') command

What's wrong:
	I got the following message:

>> print('nil')
getwd: read error in ..
(Did you su in a fascist directory?)

I was running this from /mit/lnp/classes/1.101/project/analysis
which is a world readable directory.

Also, this is a rather clueless message.  Why does it have to cd
anywhere when all it's doing is sending stuff to the printer. It's not
even saving the file.

What should have happened:
	It should have printed my file.
