You can't!  Teachtext pages differently depending on the width of the window.
The size of the window TeachText uses is initially dependent on the size of 
the screen.  Try squeezing the window real thin and see what happens.

I don't know of any text editors that can do a "form feed" as such.  I've
been able to trick MPW into sending one with a certain character sequence
(I use //FF in the first column), but without going to a real word
processor, I'm not sure you can do what you're trying to do.
