-------------------------<    About PRINT  >-------------------------------


PRINT is used to generate the hardcopy of the plot output from a PostScript
printer.  Clicking the PRINT button at the MAIN interface brings up an interface
which consists of the following options for customizing the printer environment.


Option: "Print Command (for printer)"
-------

This option is used for specifying the print command on the chosen platform.  
It is machine specific.  Any valid keyword for the print command can be added 
to customize the print process.  However, the output file name is not allowed
here.  The addition of an output file name will possibly cause a crash.  The
default value for this option is determined by the tool according to the 
platform.

To use: To modify the print command, highlight the text widget and then type
        in a new command.  It remains in effect until a new command is entered.
 

Option: "Orientation"
-------

This option is used for selecting the orientation of a plot output on a plot 
page.  Two choices, portrait and landscape, are available.  The portrait 
orientation is defined as the abscissa is along the short dimension of the page.
The landscape orientation is defined as the abscissa along the long dimension 
of the page.  The default plot orientation is "portrait".

To use: Clicking the button of either "portrait" or "landscape" sets the 
        orientation of the plot output on a plot page.
