The show-msword script starts up frame using:

  /bin/athena/attachandrun frame fmclient fmclient -f "$1" -fpname /mit/frame/bin/reader

which ought to translate to:

  /mit/frame/arch/$ATHENA_SYS/bin/fmclient -f "$1" -fpname /mit/frame/bin/reader

(where $1 is the filename). It looks like fmclient is a symlink to
share/bin/maker, so we should be getting all the right Athenaisms.

I think the problem may actually be that the Word document has a
default printer encoded into it, and so Frame uses that.

I'll see what I can do to fix this.
