For the first file, use command-K.  For all following files, use
command-F.  We use a program that automatically downloads the LaserPrep
file (if it is not there already) and then downloads the file proper, and
as such, we always use command-F because the LeserPrep file is always
there when we need it.  This is similar to having the system automatically
download the LaserPrep file to a just turned-on LaserWriter, but is not
quite as well automated.

LaserPrep is the file to be prepended, which as was stated can be
obviated by using Command-K for the first file to be printed.

I have no experience with Aldus Prep, but I suspect it would work the
same.
