.How about adding a definition along the lines of:
.
./Flushpages { Which 0 neq { Showpage } if } def
.
.This does a "real" showpage if the last page hasn't.

And is about as long as typing 'showpage' 8 times.  No, I am looking for
something that can set at the START of the header and will take effect at
the END of the job.  It's not really that important...      - Yossie
