Different Default Device

In the December @i(Newsletter), we stated that we would change the default
Scribe output device to a new device, named ln01, that had page dimensions
better-suited to the 8 1/2 x 11 page size of Athena's default printer.
We also said that the output files that Scribe produced for this
new device would have a file type of .ln0.

We still changed the default Scribe output device to a new device with
these better page dimensions.  However, the name of the new default device
is:

  lptln

@b(not) ln01.  The name is derived from the fact that this is the
Athena "ln" printer (as in @i(lpr -P ln)) version of the standard
Scribe lpt device.  We abandoned the device name ln01 because Scribe
plans to install its own ln01 device at a later time.

Output files from this lptln device type have filename types of
.lpt, not .ln0.  This is the same file type as files currently
receive when produced for the default output device.
