+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B send-pr
+is a tool used to submit
+.I problem reports
+.\" SITE ADMINISTRATORS - change this if you use a local default
+(PRs) to a central support site. In most cases the correct
+.I site
+will be the default. This argument indicates the support site which
+is responsible for the category of problem involved. Some sites may
+use a local address as a default.
+.I site
+values are defined by using the
+.BR aliases (5).
+.LP
+.B send-pr
+invokes an editor on a problem report template (after trying to fill
+in some fields with reasonable default values). When you exit the
+editor,
+.B send-pr
+sends the completed form to the
+.I Problem Report Management System
+(\fBGNATS\fR) at a central support site. At the support site, the PR
+is assigned a unique number and is stored in the \fBGNATS\fR database
+according to its category and submitter-id. \fBGNATS\fR automatically
+replies with an acknowledgement, citing the category and the PR
+number.
+.LP
+To ensure that a PR is handled promptly, it should contain your (unique)
+\fIsubmitter-id\fR and one of the available \fIcategories\fR to identify the
+problem area. (Use
+.B `send-pr -L'
+to see a list of categories.)
+.LP
+The
+.B send-pr
+template at your site should already be customized with your
+submitter-id (running `\|\fBinstall-sid\fP \fIsubmitter-id\fP\|' to
+accomplish this is part of the installation procedures for
+.BR send-pr ).
+If this hasn't been done, see your system administrator for your
+submitter-id, or request one from your support site by invoking
+.B `send-pr \-\-request\-id'.
+If your site does not distinguish between different user sites, or if
+you are not affiliated with the support site, use
+.B `net'
+for this field.
+.LP
+The more precise your problem description and the more complete your
+information, the faster your support team can solve your problems.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-f " problem-report"
+specify a file (\fIproblem-report\fR) which already contains a
+complete problem report.
+.B send-pr
+sends the contents of the file without invoking the editor. If
+the value for
+.I problem-report
+is
+.BR `\|\-\|' ,
+then
+.B send-pr
+reads from standard input.
+.TP
+.BI \-s " severity"
+Give the problem report the severity
+.IR severity .
+.TP
+.BI \-t " mail-address"
+Change mail address at the support site for problem reports. The
+default
+.I mail-address
+is the address used for the default
+.IR site .
+Use the
+.I site
+argument rather than this option in nearly all cases.
+.TP
+.BI \-c " address"
+Put
+.I address
+in the
+.B Cc:
+header of the message.
+.TP
+.B \-P
+print the form specified by the environment variable
+.B PR_FORM
+on standard output. If
+.B PR_FORM
+is not set, print the standard blank PR template. No mail is sent.
+.TP
+.B -L
+print the list of available categories. No mail is sent.
+.TP
+.B \-\-request\-id
+sends mail to the default support site, or
+.I site
+if specified, with a request for your
+.IR submitter-id .
+If you are
+not affiliated with
+.IR site ,
+use a
+.I submitter-id
+of
+.BR net \|'.
+.TP
+.B \-V
+Display the
+.B send-pr
+version number.
+.LP
+Note: use
+.B send-pr
+to submit problem reports rather than mailing them directly. Using
+both the template and
+.B send-pr
+itself will help ensure all necessary information will reach the
+support site.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+The environment variable
+.B EDITOR
+specifies the editor to invoke on the template.
+.br
+default:
+.B vi
+.sp
+If the environment variable
+.B PR_FORM
+is set, then its value is used as the file name of the template for
+your problem-report editing session. You can use this to start with a
+partially completed form (for example, a form with the identification
+fields already completed).
+.SH "HOW TO FILL OUT A PROBLEM REPORT"
+Problem reports have to be in a particular form so that a program can
+easily manage them. Please remember the following guidelines:
+.IP \(bu 3m
+describe only
+.B one problem
+with each problem report.
+.IP \(bu 3m
+For follow-up mail, use the same subject line as the one in the automatic
+acknowledgent. It consists of category, PR number and the original synopsis
+line. This allows the support site to relate several mail messages to a
+particular PR and to record them automatically.
+.IP \(bu 3m
+Please try to be as accurate as possible in the subject and/or synopsis line.
+.IP \(bu 3m
+The subject and the synopsis line are not confidential. This is
+because open-bugs lists are compiled from them. Avoid confidential
+information there.
+.LP
+See the GNU
+.B Info
+file
+.B send-pr.info
+or the document \fIReporting Problems With send-pr\fR\ for detailed
+information on reporting problems
+.SH "HOW TO SUBMIT TEST CASES, CODE, ETC."
+Submit small code samples with the PR. Contact the support site for
+instructions on submitting larger test cases and problematic source
+code.
+.SH FILES
+.ta \w'/tmp/pbad$$ 'u
+/tmp/p$$ copy of PR used in editing session
+.br
+/tmp/pf$$ copy of empty PR form, for testing purposes
+.br
+/tmp/pbad$$ file for rejected PRs
