The PRINTER IS statement (documentation update)

The PRINTER is statement has been modified in A.05.01 (and documented in the A.05.01 release notes) to support passing the output to operating system commands through a pipe. This was missing in the A.06.00 documentation (#496).

If the PRINTER IS statement is used with a string argument and the first character of the string is the '|' (pipe) character the remaining string is understood as an operating system command instead of a file name. All output is passed as stdin to the given commands. This makes it possible to dynamically use operating system capabilities.

The following example sends all output to lp program:

   PRINTER IS "|lp -dlj -o2"
