Pagespec

PAGESPEC is used in conjunction with a PON command to establish page specifications for the text file created by the PON. You would use this command only when you intend to print the file created by PON, and even then, only if you need to override the default page specification settings. The PAGESPEC command should immediately precede the PON command.

Notes:
The default values for PAGESPEC are:

Length=66 (66 lines per page)
Width=120 (120 characters per line)
Top=3 (three blank lines for the top margin)
Bottom=3 (three blank lines for the bottom margin)

To display the current page specifications type, PAGESPEC with no arguments.

If the Bottom margin is not specified, it will be the same thing as the Top margin.

For example, to change the page width to 132 and the top margin to 2:

PAGESPEC WIDTH=132 TOP=2

See the LIST command description for another example of PAGESPEC use.
