I have a file that takes about 8 minutes to print because it creates
a fancy background.  I need to make copies of the same thing with
one line of text changed.

It appears that I could do this with "copypage" and then "fill" the space for
the text with white and then "show" the new text.
It seems this would work until I run out of memory (which isn't a problem
as I am talking about 5-15 copies for each run).
My question is, did I miss the right way to do this?
