Actually the text-book format table will work nicely (mostly) for 
producing NLS materials, but you are right they are not making NLS 
their main point of Godliness.  I think that this is good, but some 
of the things they don't include are sort of just lazy, such as a 
macro to do print paging, (leaf) as is done in the textbook world, 
I would like for them to have written the macro into their standard 
format file, as an extra option.  I wrote my own, let me know if any 
body wants it, it works ok, and will keep incrementing the pages such 
as
     121 121a 121b 121c 122 122a 122b etc.
      then if their is an argument such as
     .leaf 123 the page number will start at the argument and continue 

from there.
     Why doesn't the Arkenstone model E just do upside-down text, 

rather than making the user set the option?  Any thoughts on this?
