Text editors are not word processors. Also, it won't be a good idea to try and make a text-editor some kind of a de-facto standard (not to mean that Satya implied this :-)
Good point. But given the way most non-computer-savvy users seem to (ab)use word processors, pico/nano seem to be the simplest thing around. Philip's suggestion of jstar is also very sound.
but we may alias lpr to something like "text2latex | lpr" so that the pretty printing is taken care of transparently.
No need to alias it, just tell them that the print command is print foo and have print be a tiny script or alias that Does The Right Thing to foo.
