.SH DESCRIPTION
.I pft
is a simple program for communicating with the PostScript Window Server.
.I pft
first forms a connection to a Window Server.  It then
sends characters typed by the user to the Window Server, and it
prints out data received from the Window Server.  Use ctrl-d to
generate an end-of-file, which will cause pft to exit.
.PP
The
.B \-NXHost
option directs
.I pft
to connect to the Window Server running on the machine
.I hostname.
If this option is not used, the local Window Server is assumed.
The option "-host" is equivalent.
.PP
The
.B \-f
option causes the contents of
.I file
to be sent to the Window Server before user input is accepted.
.PP
The
.B \-s
option causes
.I pft
to exit after a file specified with
.B -f
is sent to the Window Server.
.PP
The
.B \-NXPSName
option sets the string that
.I pft
uses to find the Window Server that it will connect to.  This is the
name that the Window Server used to register itself with the Network
Message Server (nmserver).
