A large part of the reason that this thread seems to be running in circles
is because the names I have for things are extremely poor.  In my previous
posts, I thought to provoke someone into telling me the correct names for
things by using names more reminiscent of grade school, but to my
astonishment (and embarrassment) others have replied using that ridiculous
nomenclature "Print#1 and Print#2".  Doesn't that seem more than a little
ridiculous to you?  To stop me from using words out of kindergarten, you
merely need to supply me with better ones (heck, point me at a proper man
page that uses them, I can read) and I will immediately begin using the
better names.

I mean, isn't this a bit ridiculous?

OK, I'm going to reply to one of the other posts, regarding the actual
topic, but I wanted this plea not to become submerged in other concerns.
The only reason to reply to this post would be to give me better names to
use, as described in my other posts.
