	PAGER IS A PROGRAM USED FOR TYPING OUT A FILE ONTO
THE TELETYPE OR OTHER OUTPUT DEVICE.  PAGER WILL PRODUCE A NICE NEAT
COPY OF THE FILE THAT YOU GIVE IT, AND PAGE IT TO THE OUTPUT AREA.
THE FINAL COPY OF THE FILE CAN BE TO THE TTY OR TO A FILE ON DISK.

	PAGER CAN BE USED TO TWO WAYS.  FIRST, YOU CAN TYPE:
.R PAGER

	AND YOU WILL BE IN THE PAGER PROGRAM.  ALSO, YOU CAN GIVE
	INSTRUCTIONS TO PAGER BY USING THE 'PAGE' COMMAND.  THE PAGE
	COMMAND HAS THE SAME FORMAT AS IF YOU WERE GIVING COMMANDS
	TO THE RESPONSE TO THE '*'.

	WHEN A STAR APPEARS, TYPE IN THE PAGER SPECIFICATIONS.
	THE COMMAND STREAM IS LIKE THIS:

INPUT-FILE>OUTPUT-FILE/SWITCHES

	BOTH THE INPUT FILE AND THE OUTPUT FILE CONTAIN DEVICE,
	FILENAME, EXTENSION AND PPN.  DEFAULTS ARE:

INPUT-FILE
----------

DEVICE		DSK:
FILENAME	<NONE>
EXTENSION	.BAS [IF NO '.' SEEN, BLANK IF '.' SEEN]
PPN		<YOUR OWN>

OUTPUT-FILE
-----------

DEVICE		TTY:	[IF NO '>' IN COMMAND STRING]
		DSK:	[IF A '>' IS IN COMMAND STRING]
FILENAME	<NONE>
EXTENSION	.PAG	[IF NO '.' IS SEEN, BLANK IF '.' SEEN]
PPN		<YOUR OWN>

TO PAGE A FILE TO THE TTY, JUST TYPE THE FILENAME, I.E.

*MYPROG.BAS
<OR>
.PAGE MYPROG.BAS

TO PAGE A FILE ONTO DISK FOR LISTING LATER ON, TYPE:

*MYPROG.BAS>MYPROG.PAG
<OR>
.PAGE MYPROG.BAS>MYPROG.PAG

	<OR, BECAUSE OF DEFAULTS,>

*MYPROG>MYPROG
<OR>
.PAGE MYPROG>MYPROG


SWITCHES ARE USED IN PAGER TO VARY THE TYPE OF OUTPUT YOU RECIEVE.
THE SWITCH MAY FOLLOW EITHER INPUT-FILE COMMAND OR OUTPUT
FILE COMMAND.  SWITCHES ARE:
