EVE PAGINATE — VMS 5.2

 PAGINATE

 Inserts a "soft" page break for a 54-line page, erasing any existing soft
 breaks within the 54 lines.

 A soft page break is a form feed followed by the null character --
 appearing as a small FF and small NL.

 Steps:

    1.  Use the PAGINATE command or with the WPS keypad, press GOLD-PF2.

        EVE then moves back to the previous page break (if any) and checks
        ahead for page breaks within the next 54 lines.

    2.  If soft breaks are found within the 54 lines, EVE erases them, then
        moves down 54 lines (if there are that many), inserts a soft break,
        and puts the cursor on the next line.  You can then repeat the
        PAGINATE command to continue paginating the buffer.

 If a "hard" page break is found, EVE stops on the line after that page
 break, in case you want to erase it.  A hard page break is a form feed
 only, done with the INSERT PAGE BREAK command (CTRL/L).
