- If you don't want page breaks, set the value of the .pl macro in your *.dev
- file to a large value -- e.g,
-
- .pl 1000i
-
- A little experimentation with the .pl value should give you a .pl value that
- will produce a page length suited to whatever terminal you consider
- "standard." (I didn't know there was such a thing any more. :-)
