/*------------------------------*/

This PM application allows the user to load and print a specified
URL on the default system printer through a single command (much in 
the same way that you print out a text-only file). The loading, 
formatting and printing of the URL is all handled by the WebExplorer 
DLL's (not included). All activity is hidden from the user as the 
application starts an invisible window which loads, formats and 
prints the specified URL. The application stops after the URL is
successfully printed or if any loading or printing error occurs.
Any type of URL that WebExplorer is capable of loading may be 
printing with this utility. This includes:

        1) HTML files
        2) FTP directory listings
        3) Graphic files (GIF, BMP, JPG)

USAGE:

    PrintURL urlname

EXAMPLES:

    PrintURL http://www.yahoo.com
    PrintURL ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2
    PrintURL http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert.gif

RETURNS:

    0   -   No errors
    1   -   Could not load URL (invalid, not found or unavailable)
    2   -   Other loading errors
    3   -   Printing error

NOTES:

    - The WebExplorer DLL's must be in the libpath or, for Warp, 
    the BEGINLIBPATH or ENDLIBPATH envirironment variable must 
    be set to the directory containing the WebExplorer DLL's.

POSSIBLE FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS:

    - checking for tcp/ip connection
    - specification of connection script (if required)
    - timed and/or repeated execution
    - select non-default printer
    - use configuration
    - error notification/quiet mode toggle

KNOWN PROBLEMS:

    - WebExplorer crashes if you attempt to print a very large table
