    I understand it's used during the parsing of PRINT commands.
    A side effect is that it makes "D" ambiguous, requiring DE at least
    for DELETE.

	Yes, noticed that as well once I got out of notes ... looks
	like it might be something like a "Deferred PRInt" command.
	Why no doc / help though ?

    VAX Notes has default print qualifiers (SET PROFILE /PRINT="/QUE=QLN03").
    This is implemented by taking the entire PRINT command, and forming
    a 'DPRINT' command, so if you say ...

	Notes>  PRINT /COP=2

    ... it forms the command ...

	Notes>  DPRINT /QUE=QLN03 PRINT /COP=2

    ... and DPRINT is just like PRINT except that it ignores the first
    parameter, and it doesn't apply the defaults.


    Later, we realized a better way to implement this; suppose the PRINT
    command had a /NODEFAULT qualifier (that could take a value).  Then
    Notes could form the command ...

	Notes>  PRINT /QUE=QLN03 /NODEFAULT=PRINT /COP=2

    ... which indicates that the defaults should not be applied (again),
    and which causes the PRINT verb (on the user-entered command) to
    be ignored.
