Including headers from the command line
---------------------------------------

  You can include headers when you run Dvips, as well as from your
document (see the previous section).  To do this, run Dvips with the
option `-P HEADER'; this will read the file `config.HEADER', which in
turn can specify a header file to be downloaded with the `h' option.
Note: Configuration file commands.  These files are called
`HEADER.cfg' on MS-DOS.

  You can arrange for the same file to serve as a `-P' config file and
the downloadable header file, by starting the lines of PostScript code
with a space, leaving only the `h' line and any comments starting in
the first column.  As an example, see `contrib/volker/config.*'
(`contrib/volker/*.cfg' on MS-DOS).  (These files also perform useful
functions: controlling duplex/simplex mode on duplex printers, and
setting various screen frequencies; `contrib/volker/README' explains
further.)
