Pr should expand the formfeed into enough lines to get to the next page (pr under System V R.1. does, 4.2BSD pr leaves the formfeeds in and assumes it will cause a real formfeed on the printer (dual universe Pyramids have their advantages)). Besides, I don't believe Cotrell was complaining about lines appearing right on the page break. He was complaining about things like a block 'if' starting on one page and finishing on the next page. I always put a formfeed before every function of my code. I don't have problems with seeing "ugly" ^Ls when I'm in the editor. I also don't have any problems wasting paper with a lot of blank space after each function. I feel the same way that Cotrell feels. I don't like having to page back and forth just to see a whole 'if' or 'while' block. I'm not saying everyone should use my style. Use any style you want, just leave me the right to use my own as well. robert -- Robert Viduya Georgia Institute of Technology ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,masscomp,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!robert ...!{rlgvax,sb1,uf-cgrl,unmvax,ut-sally}!gatech!gitpyr!robert
