Howdy! When attempting to print out a module from OLH, (via the
"Print Module" menu item), I get a pop-up window with the names of all
the public Athena printers in a scrollable area, and then a
button/text area with the name of my default printer below that. In
my case, I get "nil" (which is not on the scrollable list above it.)
I'd actually like to send the printout to "hero" (also not on the
scrollable list) so I'd like to be able to use the delete key and
erase the word "nil" and type "hero." However, I cannot do so. The
only key which moves the cursor backwards is the left arrow key, and
that makes REALLY weird things happen, as it appears not to be a
destructive backspace.
The problem is completely repeatable, and I'll be happy to
demonstrate.
So, in short, I think I should be able to delete the name of the
printer and type in whatever printer I bloody well feel like. But I
can't. I think this is a bug.

P.S. the last line of /etc/version here says:
