This is straight out of my 'djgpp.env':

INFO_PRINT_COMMAND=%/>;INFO_PRINT_COMMAND%cat >c:\info.prn

This redirects the output of the print-node command to the file
'info.prn' in my C: root directory.  At that point, I can print it or
edit it or whatever.  The extra junk at the beginning allows me to
override the setting with a preexisting environment variable.
