Running Xemacs 20.4.

Surrounded by Solaris.  :-)

>Description:

Trying to print things out from Xemacs using the "print-buffer"
function, calls "pr -f | lpr".  Our pr does not support the -f option.
However, looking at a nearby Solaris manual page, it would appear the
the (FreeBSD pr) -F option is identical to the (Solaris pr) -f option.
I include a patch below to make them synonyms for each other, for better
interoperability.

>How-To-Repeat:

% pr -f /etc/rc

>Fix:
	
Apply this patch: (NB: I'm not sure whether this is the right change for
the manual.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
