Writing to a text file - how to force a new page

[Cleako]

I am writing a program that formats the data and prints it to a text file. I
know that a text file wont hold the form feed and recognize it but what is an
ideal way to get a new page? Would it simply be count the rows printed and
then advance that many when I want a new one? It would seem like there must
be a better way.

You can actually write out the form feed |chr(10) to the text file and when
it sent for printing, it actually feed a new page, but that was how we the
DOS programmer did the old way.

If it is a fixed-width font, then probably you can count col x row character
of the page you want to print.

Chr(10) is a LineFeed, not form feed. Form Feed is Chr(12).
