                     12: \fBchreq\fP allows users to change the attributes of spooled requests.  The
                     13: changes my be applied to printing, waiting and quiescent requests.  The
                     14: following three attributes may be changed:  Printer, Priority and Lifetime.
                     15: More than one request may be changed at a time and the scheduler may be 
                     16: running.
                     17: 
                     18: Changing a request's printer is equivalent to moving the request from one
                     19: printer to another.  If the request is currently printing, it is aborted and
                     20: then moved.  Then the scheduler will deal with the job in light of its
                     21: new status.
                     22: 
                     23: In a like manner, a request's print priority may be changed to a higher or
                     24: lower value.  These values can range from 0 to 9 with 0 being the highest
                     25: priority.  If the request is currently printing, it will be aborted and
                     26: restarted in an order befitting its new status.
                     27: 
                     28: Lifetime is the final attribute that may be changed.  When a request is placed
                     29: into the spool, it is assigned a lifetime value.  These are \fBT\fPemporary,
                     30: \fBS\fPhort-term, and \fBL\fPong-term.  Queued requests with these values have
                     31: lifetimes of 1/2 hour, 24 hours and 1 week respectively.  These values may
                     32: be overridden in the MLP Controls database, so check with the system
                     33: administrator to be sure.  Requests are assigned a value of \fBT\fP by default
                     34: though this may be overridden by the environment variable \fBMLP_LIFE\fP.
