EVE PAGINATE — VMS 5.4

 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 PAGINATE (or with the WPS keypad, press GOLD-PF2).

        EVE then moves back to the previous page break or to the top of the
        buffer, and checks for page breaks within the next 54 lines.

    2.  If there are soft breaks within the 54 lines, EVE deletes the soft
        breaks, moves down to insert a soft break for a 54-line page, and
        then puts the cursor at the start of the next line.  The page break
        appears on a line by itself.  You can then repeat Step 1 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 the page break (by using DELETE).  A hard
 page break is a form feed only, done with INSERT PAGE BREAK (CTRL/L or
 with the WPS keypad, GOLD-N).
