Just a thought.....
Don't know if this is your problem but most / all hylafax scripts change
many environment variables before doing anything significant. Look at any of
the major scripts for the setup cache script call to see what gets changed
for your system.

Yes!
I tried it!  It will print (just like the command '$FAX2PS $1 | lp' at the
end
of the file.)

However, the same thing happens.  It only prints when I run faxrcvd from the
prompt (see format below).  This is so bizarre.

I think Im gonna scream!
AAAAHHHHHRRRRRGGGGG

The question is:  why would it print when I manualy execute the faxrcvd
script,
but when hylafax executes it, it will not print.  But yet e-mail will go
out.
