These should prompt you for a keypress with each page. I forget how to 
turn it off and on, it should say somewhere in the docs.

Nos needs a command line. With MagiC and Ease I use ...

-d G:\OASIS\ -s 40 startup.nos

-d specifies the working directory which typically should be the one 
in which the SPOOL\ subdirectory is located.

-s defines the number of sockets. Leave it at 40.

startup.nos is, well, STARTUP.NOS! :-)
