I decided to include the lisp part after I wrote the "not so" so I missed
including "neither" :)

I am honestly lost.
I don't want to produce a postscript file.
That is not my intention.
This what I had before:
At some point I was able to choose "postscript print buffer" and it would
format the page and "print it" as if I am doing:
mp -l -s "\!*" <\!* | lp "buffer name"
from the command prompt in solaris.
Something changed in the environment and I can't do that anymore.
So I am trying to duplicate the same printing format in emacs "two pages in an
oval bold line kind of format per page".

I am lost again. What kind of compilation you are talking about?
I just want to include some lines of lisp in my .emacs file so I can port it to
any machine and have the same printing format and functionality.
I don't prefer using the customization window for anything.
But again, maybe I am missing the actual use of this interface you are
mentioning.
Will read more about it.
Thanks.
