Section 4 of README tells about setting these, as does the 'preferences' help file. The preferences I use are: *.formatcommand: cat /tmp/%s.n | eqn | /usr/bin/troff -Tpsc -t | *.printcommand: psdit | /usr/ucb/lpr; rm -f /tmp/%s.n As you can see, formatting creates a .n file in /tmp, while printing removes it. If the README file is bit for bit exactly correct (which it often is) then the default print command is at fault, not you. The default print command doesn't have the '; rm -f /tmp/%s.n' in it to remove the temporary file. Probably the simplest way to fix this is for you to create a file named global.prf in your ${ANDREWDIR}/lib directory. In that file put the line: *.printcommand: psdit | /usr/ucb/lpr; rm -f /tmp/%s.n ---- I hope this helps. -wdc
