Hi,
The print command in xmh only works if one has previously set the
PRINTER environment variable in the shell from which one starts it up.
Whether it works or not, the print command gives no information about
whether it suceeded or failed; it does not prompt for a printer name
if one has not been previously set, and there seems to be no way to
set the printer variable once one has already started xmh. One needs
to kill the job, set the PRINTER variable, and then restart xmh, at
least as far as I could tell.
Thanks for your help.
