        !             2: 
        !             3: \fBroute\fP [destination_name]
        !             4: 
        !             5: This command allows users to display or change their personal default
        !             6: destination printer.  A user's print request will print to this printer unless
        !             7: specifically overridden in the \fBlp\fP or \fBlpr\fP commands.  If a user does
        !             8: not have a personal default, the system default destination is used instead.
        !             9: 
        !            10: Invoking \fBroute\fP by itself displays the user's default printer followed by a list
        !            11: of printers known to MLP.  For example:
        !            12: 
        !            13:    main  ( oki, letter, ticket, main, system, display, local )
        !            14: 
        !            15: would tell the user that their default is named "main" and the possible choices
        !            16: include "oki," "letter," "ticket," and "main."
        !            17: 
        !            18: To change ones' own personal default, simply give the printer's name after 
        !            19: \fBroute\fP on the command line.  Nonexistent printers will provoke an error
        !            20: message.
        !            21: 
        !            22: There are three special predefined "printers" available.  These are: \fBsystem\fP,
        !            23: \fBdisplay\fP, and \fBlocal\fP.  Here is what they are.
        !            24: 
        !            25: Routing to \fBsystem\fP directs the user's requests to the current system default
        !            26: destination.  By routing to this "printer" the user need not be aware of how
        !            27: the system's various printers are named.
        !            28: 
        !            29: Routing to \fBdisplay\fP causes the user's request to be sent to his display rather
        !            30: than an actual printer. This is useful for previewing a report.
        !            31: 
        !            32: Routing to \fBlocal\fP causes the user's report to print on a slave printer connected
        !            33: to the user's terminal.  The terminal must be able to support such a printer and
        !            34: the printer must exist.  Also, the codes PS and PN must be defined in \fB/etc/termcap\fP
        !            35: so MLP knows how to direct the data.
        !            36:
