Re: Getting Gvim print button to print in landscape mode

As I pointed out in the snapshot of the documentation on the site that 
you sent me, it clearly states that

  * "portrait=n"  (please refer back to snapshot of that documentation
    page in my previous email)

is the specified method to tell Gvim that landscape mode is the desired 
print mode.

Since you questioned the "portrait=n" method, is there a new 
"landscape=y" method, or is there a different documentation page that I 
should be referring to instead of the "vimhelp.org" reference?

That is the URL on the documentation page at

  * https://vimhelp.org/usr_90.txt.html#usr_90.txt

under the heading "FROM A PACKAGE".

Using the information obtained from

  * https://github.com/vim/vim?tab=readme-ov-file

is the most recent version (v9.1.1163) uploaded to

  * https://github.com/vim/vim/tags

a confirmed functional build?


Also, as a bit of feedback, since Unix is not exactly Linux, or 
vice-versa, if the code is usable for both environments, may I suggest 
modifying the references (in documentation) to "Unix/Linux" or "Unix 
(Linux)" to eliminate confusion for people who think too literally about 
such things?


Thank you for the above, and for your ongoing contributions to the Gvim 
project.

Eric
