* As I was saying ...
* I must agree with Reto. We have a QUME
* Crystalprint Publisher which spews out endless
* startpages, not only at power-up but any time the
* configuration is changed, ie serial to parallel port.
* Hundreds of sheets were wasted and there was no mention
* of how to stop it in the documentation. We eventually
* got the relevant lines from QUME in the UK. Whew! Now
* what to use for scratch paper?
See the Red Book, page 298. setdostartpage operator.
