Actually, I was thinking of a suggestion by one of the staff at the university computer center... following the link would lead to a cgi script that allows anyone in the right domain (therefore at the university) to recieve hardcopy of a help page. This would be especially useful for graphic documents (such as GIF or PostScript) which are not viewable from all machines. A form to select one of the printers on campus, and perhaps accounting, might be the needed. Benjamin C. W. Sittler
