Hello,

When I spawn a print command to the default printer in UNIX I might type
something like:
SPAWN, 'lp mydoc.ps'

What is the equivalent command for DOS/MS-DOS. I tried SPAWN, 'print
mydoc.ps', but I am told
that the latest versions of MS-DOS don't accept that command.

Thanks in advance,

Ben
