A new command called `status' has been installed.  I hope that most users
will find it useful.  It reports the current status of any submitted print
jobs.  If a job is awaiting execution it is reported as such (if you then
want to find out how many jobs are ahead of it, use the command `batchq').
A job may also be reported as currently executing, waiting to print on a
particular printer, or currently printing.  If a job is reported as waiting
to print on, say, `lpr', then you may use the command `lpq' to find out
how many jobs are ahead of it.

Once you have submitted a file for printing, and have your prompt back,
you can type:

	status

to tell you what is currently happening to it.  If the job has finished
printing, nothing will be reported.  (Status reports on *all* outstanding
print jobs submitted from your account.)
