Nope. Just makes it act like a line printer so that when it hits the
end of the printable space it just start on the next line.

Just grabbed the 4 manual and found something else interesting -
regarding the not printing the last page which is in another page.

Don't have one here to test but there are two command listed under
'Flush All Pages'.

Flush All complete pages \E&r0F
Flush all page data      \E&r1F

Don't have an LJ here to try this on. However that sequence might
make a lot more sense for _some_ applications than the \EE sequence
which I typically use.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
