This is a sample header file. Normally, of course, you don't fill a PXL.HDR
file with extra blank lines and all manner of uninstructive commentary.
Nevertheless, this is a working header file. Change its name to PXL.HDR,
and the commands below will do their job. Try it and see. All this is
fully explained in the DOC file.
{.H2C Printed: .Pt, .Pd} <- Time & Date of printout in center of 2nd line
{.H1L File name: .Fn} {.H1R Written: .Ft on .Fd} <-Note: 2 commands can
be on the same line. Note also that the order of the commands need not
match the order of the lines.
{.H2L Copytripe .Id} <--Ornaments for line 2 of page 1. Your ID
{.H2R Reg. Penna. Dept. Agr.} will be in it if you've made a PXL.ID file.
{.H3L Pat. Pending} <--More ornaments for page 1.
{.H3R Not kosher for Passover}
{.H2N} {.H3N} <--These will cancel the line 2 & line 3 ornaments above,
but only for pages after 1. First spec for a given segment
is used in first page. 2nd spec for the segment won't be
used until 2nd page. Subsequent specs in PXL.HDR will wipe
out previous ones for page 2 ff. Thus:
{.H1R Yoo hoo!} <--This changes the right side (only) of the first line but,
again, only for pages after the first. Unless you delete the
NEXT command, however, you'll never see this one, because:
{.H1R Page #} <--This changes the right side of the 1st line again. It
won't do anything to the first page, but it will intercept
"Yoo hoo!" and keep it off the later pages.
Notice that in a PXL.HDR file everything NOT in braces is a comment. You
can have things in {braces}, too so long as they don't start with the
.H symbol right after the opening brace. You'll notice that I have to
pussyfoot in order to avoid actually putting a header instruction into
this paragraph by mistake.
Here's a stinker: {. HPL22} as long as the extra space is in it, it won't
do anything, but if you delete that space, this command will set PXL
printing 22 lines per page. HPL makes no distinction between "1st" and
"subsequent" pages. If you put more than one HPL command in PXL.HDR,
only the last one will have effect. In the body of the text, of course,
an HPL would take effect whenever it's found and stay until another is
found.
