Keywords:\vskip ????
I recently started using TeX on a Vax running 4.3, and a qms laser printer
for output. There are no other users here at the moment so I am posting
this question to the net instead.
If I start a new page with a \vskip command, to move a title halfway down
a page, TeX seems to ignore it, and sets the title at the top of the page.
On the other hand if I print something and then \vskip, it works perfectly.
So, \eject
\vskip 200mm
Title
fails (eg Title is at the top of the page), but
\eject
dummy text
\vskip 200mm
Title
seems to work exactly as expected. What am I doing wrong ????.
I am away for a week, and besides I'm sure this is obvious so please mail me
with any answers.
thanks very much
Andy.
