         -----------------------------
         CTRL/L             GOLD-N

  Steps:

     1.  Put the cursor where you want to start a new page.

     2.  Use the INSERT PAGE BREAK command (see key list above).

     itself and then moves the cursor to the start of the next line, as

     QUOTE command (CTRL/V) and CTRL/L.

  o  To find and erase a page break, do the following:

        1.  Use the MOVE BY PAGE command to go to the page break. (With the
            EDT keypad, press KP7. With the WPS keypad, press PF2.)

        2.  Use ERASE LINE, ERASE WORD or similar EDT or WPS key.
