If you are old enough to remember WordStar and still able to sit up and
see the screen with your ancient, tired eyes, and peck at the keyboard
with your arthritic fingers, I have a question for you.

How do I force a page break from WordStar?  (What I really want to do
is generate WordStar text from a program, and feed the output text into
another program that accepts WordStar text input.  If I knew how to
force the page break from within WS, I could look at the WS text file
to see how the page break is represented.)

I don't see a way to enter a ASCII Form Feed (Ctrl-L, hex 0C) into 
WordStar.  Is there some other way to force a page break?
Thanks for any help.

(RTFM, Iknow, but I don't have a manual.)

Thanks,
John
