| |   printer5=file,nocodes,>/tmp/file.txt,Write to a file
| |   printer6=less,nocodes,| less,View using less
| |   printer7=video,nocodes,less,View using less

| | menu are to be documented, choice A will document the menu
| | itself, any associated shell scripts, and the menu help file if
| | one exists.
| | 
| | I documented a menu which has associated shell scripts and a
| | help file.  After using printer5, 'wc' showed the file size:
| | 
| |     210    598   5655 /tmp/file.txt
| | 
| 
| That's a pretty small amount of output.  Suppose it were more like a
| thousand lines long?

I don't have a filePro User Menu with enough associate shell scripts,
and a help file, that would generate a 1000 lines of documentation, but
maybe I could fake it.  I'll see when I get a round TUIT.
