                     15: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     16: .I Xnsrprint
                     17: retrieves the files named in \fIfile1\fR through \fIfilen\fR and sends them 
                     18: to an Interpress printer.
                     19: .PP
                     20: If the file is a simple text file, \fImaha\fR will be invoked to format
                     21: the file into an Interpress master which is sent by \fIxnsprint\fR.
                     22: If the file is already an Interpress master, \fIxnsprint\fR is invoked
                     23: directly. An appropriate message is issued if the file is of a type other
                     24: than text or Interpress.
                     25: .PP
                     26: The arguments specified in \fIfile1\fR through \fIfilen\fR may be in one
                     27: of the following three forms, where host is a Clearinghouse name of the form 
                     28: \fIobject:domain:organization\fR (domain and organization are optional):
                     29: .nf
                     30:        [host]filename
                     31:        (host)filename
                     32:        host:filename
                     33: .fi
                     34: .PP
                     35: Credentials for accessing the remote service are determined either from the
                     36: environment variables XNSNAME and XNSPASSWD or, if not defined, by prompting 
                     37: the user.
                     38: .PP
                     39: The possible options are:
                     40: .TP
                     41: .B -f
                     42: causes the FilingSubset Protocol to be used instead of Filing.

                     44: .B -v
                     45: causes a message to be displayed as each file is sent to the printer.
                     46: .TP
                     47: .BI -P \ printer
                     48: causes the Interpress master to be delivered to the printer specified in
                     49: .IR printer .
                     50: .SH NOTES
                     51: If no printer is specified on the command line,
                     52: .I xnsprint
                     53: will determine the printer either from the environment variable PRINTER

                     61: .SH BUGS
                     62: It might be nice to build a minimal Interpress header for printing RES
                     63: (Viewpoint canvases) also.
                     64: .PP
                     65: There should be a way to pass other command line switches to \fImaha\fR or
                     66: \fIxnsprint\fR directly.
