DESCRIPTION
       systempapername()  returns  the	name  of the default paper to be used by a program.  This name is obtained by looking in that order at the

       chance.

       defaultpapername() returns the name of the default paper to use if it is impossible to get its name from the environment.

       systempapersizefile()  returns  the path of the papersize file to use.  This path is obtained by looking at the PAPERCONF environment vari-
       able or by calling defaultpapersizefile().

       defaultpapersizefile returns the path of the default papersize file.
