    *   As I was saying ...

    *  I must agree with Reto.   We have a QUME
    *  Crystalprint Publisher which spews out endless
    *  startpages, not only at power-up but any time the
    *  configuration is changed, ie serial to parallel port.
    *  Hundreds of sheets were wasted and there was no mention
    *  of how to stop it in the documentation.  We eventually
    *  got the relevant lines from QUME in the UK.  Whew!  Now
    *  what to use for scratch paper?

See the Red Book, page 298.  setdostartpage operator.
