Thanks for the recent responses via e-mail to my question regarding re-directing output from SCO Xenix Mail. Of course, the answer was simple - utilizing the LPDEST variable effects the re-direction very nicely. Researching the answer to my next question revealed the LPDEST solution in the documentation, so RTFM did apply... Now being able to easily re-direct, I find that SCO Xenix Mail, since it pipes through pr for printing, sets the page length to 66 lines, or simply uses the pr default of 66. My printer, a canon lpb8, requires a page length of 62 lines... Any suggestions on setting page length (NOT the page length of the visual device used for viewing mail) for mail command "l (pr)" ?? Again, e-mail responses would be appreciated to hold down traffic on the network. By the way, to those egomanics who feel it is imperative to demonstrate their clearly superior opinions by making smart-ass responses posted for world-wide distribution when I clearly suggested e-mail responses, I hope that some day you achieve some level of responsibility in your use of a valuable resource... Thanks for the help ! Stephen Comfort-Mason uunet!tcistl2!sccm I never cease to be amazed at the egomanics that
