1.1       root        1: \fBroute\fP -- MLP Spooler Command
                      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:
