	>> LPDEST doesn't work if it is set to a printer alias. >> is it normal? intended? This has come up in prior notes in this conference before. All of the existing documentation says to equate LPDEST with a printer name, it says nothing about printer aliases. Most other CDE vendors (possibly all at this point) are using the System V printing system, which does not support the concept of a printer alias. If you or a customer considers this to be a bug, file a QAR or an IPMT.
