This my puny attempt at making a contribution to the knowledgebase.

1. I like to use Scite for my scripting experiments and often find my lines of code/comments are wider than an A4 page.  Rather than edit my scripts to fit with lots of \, I looked for a way to print in landscape mode.

After googling and experimenting with the non-intuitive a2ps options, I obtained success with the following, which has been an addition to my emelfm buttons for some time now:

a2ps -r -l 145 --columns=1 %f

It comes out with a nice border, page numbers, your user name etc.

PS: I suppose 'page setup' in MP might do this ...

2. Another tool I find v helpful as a n00b is an emelfm 'find' button to search the whole filesystem for filenames ending in whatever:

sudo 2>/dev/null find / -name %{Find what:} -print

(EDIT: see Saidinunleashed's post http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....;t=4968 which does this & more using locate and updatedb)
