in the .emacs, I wrote:

  (setq lpr-command "cat2file")

under cygwin/bash:
  $ cat 
  #!/usr/bin/bash
  TMPFILE=`mktemp -t emacs.print.XXXXX` || exit 1
  cat >$TMPFILE

I dit this because I hope the 'ps-print-xxx' command can generate and
save a ps file for me.

But, when I invoked the 'ps-print-xxx' in NTEmacs, I always got
following error:
  "searching for program: no such file or directory, cat2file"

Please help!
