How can I print text from the help system menus on a Postscript
printer?  The following shell script works fine:

[bin_RIOS] 376> cat print_help
ezprint -t $1 | eqn -Tpsc | troff -Tpsc | psdit | lpr -Ppsb115

but the "Print" menu of the help system has only the options "Set
Printer" and "Print This File" - none of which seems to allow me to
enter all parameters. I guess that the Andrew system offers a
preference or a shell variable that allows me to set such a string.  I
read help files for quite some tome now but did not find it.  Can
anybody give me a hint?

Thanks
