Why not use "www -source" ?
You say, in print-www, that:
# It is intended to
# be used from the Viola WWW browser but might he useful
# elsewhere too
Of course it's great from the line mode browser too, in which you can say
source | print-www
or just
setenv WWW_PRINT_COMMAND "print-www '%s' | lpr"
beforehand, and say PRINT in www.
Thanks for a cleaning up the .sed file, and doing the thing properly.
