I'm 41 and started using WordStar in 1980. Do I qualify? >How do I force a page break from WordStar? This was/is done with a "dot command". A line like this: .pa did the trick. There was no embedded control code for a page break. >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? Besides the fact that Ctrl-L won't do it, you *can* enter any control character by hitting ctrl-p first. The control-p "print functions" menu actually inserts control characters in the text.
