  7. this example builds a print list with AmigaDOS-Wildcards and prints
  8. it immediately
  9. Note: This Arexx-script builds a list of names rather than copying
  10.       files into the printer: directory. You can use it when you
  11.       are low on memory.
  12.       
  13. Example:
  14.  
  15.       > rx pattern #?             : print all files in the
  16.                                     current directory
  17.  
  18.       > rx pattern #? -r#?.info   : build a list of all files in
  19.                                     the current directory, then remove
  20.                                     files ending with '.info' and print
  21.                                     the remaining files 
  22.  
  23. Note: this script works with the AmigaDOS 'list' command in the
