I would like to create documents that have a narrow first page
and a wider later pages.  I have modified the output routine
described on page 257 of the TeXbook to change the hsize after
the first page.  The problem is that on the beginning of the
second page, the narrower hsize is still in effect for the
first few lines of the page.  I think that I somehow need to
send this material back to the main vertical list, but I 
don't know how to do it.  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
