I give up. I am not a TeXpert...

I have been trying to use rotate.tex to rotate an equation and center it  
on the page.  I want to rotate it to put one formula in landscape mode  
centered vertically and horizontally on the page with no page numbers.

The following does not work for large formulas:

\input rotate
\newbox\rotbox
%
\setbox\rotbox=\vbox{$$ \input blah.tex	 $$}

\centerline{\rotl\rotbox}
\bye

where \input blah.tex is a file containing a formula dumped from Mme.  The  
formula is large and is a matrix.  Unfortunately all I get is the formula  
in the middle of the page centered vertically (vertically that is in  
landscape) and half the formula chopped off since it is not centered  
horizontally (in landscape mode).  I have tried other commands to get it  
right but it just doesn't seem to work!


I would appreciate some insight :-)


I want to get a generic command down so that I can stick it in a Mme  
function and have TeXview pop-up automatically with the formula or at  
least shoot it out to the printer without further intervention.
