I have found that it is awkward to provide empty space for figures
at the top of selected pages
in a document.  I usually accomplish this by means of \topinserts
scattered thoughout the document.

SURELY it must be possible to collect these \topinserts together and
position them at the BEGINNING  of the document.
A macro which I can envision doing this might look (when it is
called) something like this:
	\Topinsert{3}{\vskip 5 true in}  %figure on page 3


I have a feeling such a macro would be VERY difficult to write.
However, it would be TREMENDOUSLY useful.

Has anyone seen such a macro as this??  Might anyone be willing
to write one????


Many thanks!
