In a real comp center, labor is more expensive than paper, and one of the most labor-intensive (and poorly-executed) chores is the bursting of printouts and putting them in users' bins. The double banner page allows the person to always find the banner on an outward-facing page (assuming fan-fold paper). This makes the job easier. Given that you have an AT running XENIX, you're hardly a production comp center, and I don't blame you for not appreciating this "feature." But I have no idea how you patch your way around it. Hope someone else can help. Dave Tutelman Physical - AT&T Information Systems Holmdel, NJ 07733 Logical - ...ihnp4!mtuxo!mtgzz!dmt Audible - (201)-834-2895
