I always used openoffice.org -p whatever.

Scott,

Thanks for your suggestion.  My understanding of the '-p' switch is that
it prints the document opened to the default printer which works for me
unless I add -terminate_after_init to the command line.  With this
addition I am not getting anything, and without -terminate_after_init I
do not get an exit from openoffice.org

Any other ideas?

Greg
