System name:		hydrox-cookie
Type and version:	KN01 7.2R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PM-MONO

What were you trying to do?
	Print a message.

What's wrong:
	If an error occurs in the print command, such as printer queue
down, no notification is made.

What should have happened:
	If an error occurs, the user should get an alert box giving the
error message.  At the very least, xmh should check exit status.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
init.c:
    {"printCommand", "PrintCommand", XtRString, sizeof(char *),
         offset(print_command), XtRString,
         "enscript > /dev/null 2>/dev/null"},

tocfuncs.c, function DoPrint
