I would like *not* to have the page number on the first page
of some of my documents using the `article' style, because they
are just one page.  I tried to do this using \pagestyle{empty}, but
LaTeX insists on putting the page number in (at the bottom of the
page), nonetheless.

My workaround is editing the PostScript I get from the .dvi file,
but there must be a better way!

What is it?

Thanks in advance.  (Replies to walrmath@fac3.anu.oz.au)
