Re: a command with a long list of options

CONFIGURATION FILES

       Enscript reads configuration information from the following sources (in this  order):  command  line  options,

       environment variable ENSCRIPT, user's personal configuration file ($HOME/.enscriptrc), site configuration file

       (/etc/enscriptsite.cfg) and system's global configuration file (/etc/enscript.cfg).

One solution:

> ENSCRIPT= —verbose —media=letter -2 —landscape —borders ….

The personal configuration resides in ~/.enscriptrc and NOT in ~/.enscript.cfg. esncript.cfg is the global config and resides in /etc/enscript.cfg

Regards!

I cut and pasted the above definition into ~/.bashrc and then restarted
the machine to ensure that .bashrc was being read.  But the only response
I get is:

$ enscript howto.enscript
AFM: scanning path...
AFM: reading font map "/usr/share/enscript/afm/font.map"
processing file ""...

What did I do wrong?
