Whatever was there for the lpansi program.  Essentially all
it does is prefix the "Print to the screen" routine with the
VT100 standard "printer on" escape sequence, and append to
it the escape sequences for "form feed" and "printer off."

Open to suggestions.  Originally, i.e., the example for lpansi
in lynx.cfg, was "Use vt100 print sequence to print from local
terminal."  Dan S. suggested "Print through printer on your
system" or "Send to your printer."  But I'll listen to what
others on the list have to say.

More than "nit-pick." :-)
        1)  Not capitalizing the first letter of the first word
            in a sentence is not good English.
        2)  I thought that what was already there was fine, and
            didn't think there was any need to revise it.
        3)  I had some doubt that you were basing your changes on
            the lynx.cfg in the latest development (21?) distribution.

I don't know.  I suspect it would be useful if you had a display-logger
running in the background on your PC.  (In the "old days", before I had
a decent telnet application I did use it that way.)
