GroupWise 4.x for UNIX Client Custom Print Command

Description of new print attachment feature and custom commands

OVERVIEW
--------
The Wpoffice and Wpoffice.low files have had the following resources
added to them, although they are commented out by default:

Wpoffice.auxillaryPrintCommand
Wpoffice.customMenu1Name
Wpoffice.customMenu1Command
Wpoffice.customMenu2Name
Wpoffice.customMenu2Command
Wpoffice.customMenu3Name
Wpoffice.customMenu3Command
Wpoffice.customMenu4Name
Wpoffice.customMenu4Command
Wpoffice.customMenu5Name
Wpoffice.customMenu5Command

The auxillaryPrintCommand resource if uncommented will replace the old
printing.  In other words, when Print is selected off the File menu or
when the right mouse button is pressed after highlighting an attachment,
the command associated with the auxillaryPrintCommand resource will be
run (forked and execed).  The command should contain the following
parameter to represent the selected attachment to be printed: <f>

Note that the print command is also responsible for deleting the
temporary file (represented by <f>) since the client itself will not
delete it unless the fork and exec fail.

The five custom Name and Command resources above are accessible from the
bottom of the File menu of the Inbox, Outbox and Trash, as well as from
the Views.  They work the same as the auxillaryPrintCommand in that any
command may be entered to be forked and execed, <f> represents the
selected attachment, and the temporary file represented by <f> should be
deleted by the command if the fork and exec are successful.


STEPS TO FOLLOW
---------------

1. Uncomment the desired resources in one of the Wpoffice files.
2. Edit the name and/or the command to run when the menu item is selected.  
3. Either add these lines to your existing Wpoffice file in the oflib directory
or
just copy the new Wpoffice file into the oflib directory.


EXAMPLES
--------
To replace GroupWise printing:
Wpoffice.auxillaryPrintCommand: /wpdir/shbin10/wprint -D <f>

To create an additional 'custom' way to print:
Wpoffice.customMenu1Name:       My custom print command
Wpoffice.customMenu1Command:    /wpdir/shbin10/wprint -DgS <f>

To add a menu item to start WordPerfect:
Wpoffice.customMenu2Name:       Start WP
Wpoffice.customMenu2Command:    /wpdir/wpbin/xwp
