Back at Fortune Systems, someone (Mark Stein?) had hacked in a simple
straightforward solution to your "lpr" request: If the "filename" of
a "save" starts with a "|", the save is piped to the following command.
So, "s |lpr" prints it, "s|print -h foobar" runs it through "pr" first
and puts a title "foobar" on it, etc. (Berkeley "print" :== "pr !* | lpr")

I don't know how much code is involved, but it's basically a "popen()"
instead of an "fopen()". (Remember to skip over the "|".)
