How to print from IDRAW

There are two ways you can print an Idraw file.  Since Idraw saves all
the files in the PostScript format, you can type at the athena% prompt:

	lpr -Pprintername filename

where "printername" is the name of the printer you want to print to, and
"filename" is the name of your idraw file.

You can also print directly from idraw.  To do so, use the "print"
option from the "FILE" menu.  The "FILE" menu button is located on the
menu bar.  When you do that, you will be prompted to enter the "Print
command".  You shold enter there:

	lpr -Pprintername

where you replace "printername" with the name of the printer you want to
use.  Then, click on "OK".

Before you print, be sure that you've saved your idraw file!  The "save"
option is on the same menu as the "print" option.

This is all you need to do.  If you have further questions, you can type

	add sipb
	man idraw
