I don't know that you could get environment files to work as the shell
could only deal with /dev/* files.  It should work for printer ldevs
(which can be defined with mknod) but as far as I know, not classnames
or other non-posix hooks.

tee just copies stdin to stdout but also 'tees' a copy to a file.  If
you wanted to print to three printers:

shell/ix> callci "RUN MYPGM"|tee /dev/lp1|tee /dev/lp2
