Purpose:     
        Prepare file(s) for printing, perhaps in multiple columns.


Use:         
        PR prepares one or more filenames for printing. By  default, 
        the  output  is separated into pages headed by a  date,  the 
        name  of the file, and the page number. PR prints its  stan-
        dard  input  if there are no  filename  arguments.  FORMFEED 
        characters in the input files cause page breaks in the  out-
        put, as expected.

        By  default,  columns are of equal width,  separated  by  at 
        least one SPACE; lines that do not fit are wrapped.




             Options  may  appear anywhere in the command  line  and 
        apply to all filenames:

        /H string
             Use  string,  instead  of the file name,  in  the  page 
             header.

        /Ln  Take  the length of the page to be n lines. Default  is 
             the  screen  heigth  for  console  output  and  72  for 
             anything else.

        /Sc  Separate columns by the single character c with a space 
             to  the left and to the right instead of three  blanks, 
             or by a single blank if c is omitted.

        /Wn  For multicolumn output,  take  the width of the page to
             be  n  characters.  Default is the screen width minus 1
             for console output and 79 for anything else.


        /n   Produce n-column output. For example:
                Print   of      in
                the     one     three
                lines   file    columns.

             Columns are not balanced; if, for example, there are as 
             many lines in the file as there are lines on the  page, 
             only one column will be printed.

        /P   Pause before beginning each page even if the output  is 
             not directed to the console, or don't pause if it is.

        /En  Expand input TAB characters to character positions n+1, 
             2*n+1, 3*n+1, etc. Default TAB settings at every eighth 
             position  are assumed. TAB characters in the input  are 
             expanded   into   the  appropriate  number   of   SPACE 
             characters. 

        /In  In  output,  replace white space wherever  possible  by 
             inserting  TAB characters to character  positions  n+1, 
             2*n+1, 3*n+1, etc. Default TAB settings at every eighth 
             position are assumed.

        /On  Offset each line by k character positions.



Examples:

             Print a file called DREAD on the printer - this is  the 
        simplest use of PR: 

             A> PR DREAD >LST
