    George,
    the point is that neither version of TSE supports automatic visible page 
breaks that wil avoid lots of manual work for those who do large amounts of 
text revision with intermittent hard copy output: one is bound to make the 
occasional mess when forgetting to delete some page eject characters that 
have become redundant.
    They're also a great help for authors to get their page formatting 
straight and help them avoid those orphans and widows Unix Manual output is 
blessed with...
    We do have the setting, it is just the marker and the page number display 
that are missing 8-(
