Set the line length to the 2 column width at the beginning (e.g. ".ll 7i") of the keep. Restore the line length to 1 column width at the end. The keep will automagically appear at the top or bottom of the page, formatted across both columns correctly. Thanks to those who helped me, Ken Shirriff shirriff@sprite.Berkeley.EDU
