This is nice because it allows one to ask for a new page at the begining of subroutines. It is also not documented, probably non-standard, and probably should be an error. How far back does this "feature" go? Is it in all, most, of just a few of the compilers out there. If it is universal, shouldn't it be documented? -- Mark J.
