- Hi all,
-
- Elm 2.3PL11, Irix 4.0.4. It works fine, but I can't get the default options
- quite the way I want them. Specifically, I want
-
- E)ditor : /usr/local/bin/emacs -nw
- P)rint mail using : /bin/cat %s | /usr/bin/lp
-
- The first is obvious, and the second is a workaround for an IRIX lp bug.
- I can type them into the options screen and they work fine. What I can't do
- is give them to Configure in such a way that they come out the other end.
- If I just type them in as is I get
-
- E)ditor : emacs
- P)rint mail using : /bin/cat %s | /bin/cat %s | /usr/bin/lp
-
- Any thoughts? Please mail; I'll summarize.
-
- TIA,
-
