Hey, thanks!  I have been wondering about this also, and couldnt figure out
how to do it.  Obviously I need to print the docs (I hate exiting an editor,
reading a doc, and reentering an editor).  I know i can read them while
using ed, but I'm used to QEdit.

Anyway, I have sent my order for the Complete Edition, and am anxiously
awaing its arrival.
