Hi all,
	I am configuring my environment from Printer Setup, in the option 
<3> called "Personally selected print command" I put my printer program 
called "hello" (for example)..
	"hello" can work as :

	%hello <file name> <enter>
         if $1 exist then		# $1 == file name
           print

		or

	%hello <enter>
	 File Name : <file name> <enter>   #read variable...
         if file exist then
           print

	PINE not put the message into an file.... then what can I do for 
print my messages from "hello" program...??? I can do it??
	I am working on PINE 3.87...

	Thank's in advance...

Isaias,

Try "| cat > /tmp/prtfile ; hello /tmp/prtfile ; rm /tmp/prtfile".  It's a
bit long, but it should work.
