Beta1 has a new command line switch "-pagesize" that you can use to
specify alternates to standard "Letter" (portrait) sizes.  You specify
the number of points (72 to an inch) you want across and up and down
with the letter 'x' in between them.  To get rotated Letter sized
output the values you'd want would be (11 * 72) = 792 and (8.5 * 72) =
612, so the command line would be:

executor -pagesize 792x612

This means that you need to quit Executor and restart every time you
want to change the page layout.  It's awkward, but it's better than
nothing.
