Common Desktop Environment (CDE) and Online

releases of HP-UX earlier than 10.30.) All HP DCE 1.8 online help and
context-sensitive help works in CDE. If you print HP DCE 1.8 online
help and context-sensitive help from CDE, the text is not formatted as it
is on the screen; only text is printed (graphics are not printed).
