The online help seems to indicate that the proper thing to do is SET PRINTER/PAGE=0, but when I try that it gags on the 0 value. So far I haven't found anything else in the documentation to help me on this, and TWG hasn't returned my call. Of course I could dicker with all the nroff macros, arguments to print(1), etc., or write a filter, but I'd like to make the printer look like lpr expects it to. No doubt there's a simple answer, and I'm just blind... Larry Wall {allegra,burdvax,cbosgd,hplabs,ihnp4,sdcsvax}!sdcrdcf!lwall
