Thanks. I was worried about the first part, which is not like a conventional
PATH assignment *sh.

Weird. We'll get this figured out and I'll create a webpage mini-tutorial and
see if I can get Akim to post it on his website.

Perhaps I need a ~/.a2ps.cfg with that assignment in it to get a2ps to
find the stylesheets for that user.....I'll try making them owned by a
new group (maybe "printer") with rw priveleges and make myself a member.
Right now, they are owned by root:root.

I've got mozilla here, and its documentation is miserable, although it is
supposed to be a lot like netscape.

How am I going to get *it* to work with a2ps?

Later, Ed,
