Re: page-counts

[Don Mellen <donm@ONTKO.COM>]

To print things on a previous page in version 6.0 + you can use the
"delay" option of the print command.  Print the items while you are still
on the page (with delay) and once you are done with whatever processing
that would give you the amount, use a "set-delay-print" to assign it.
The commands look something like...

   print #total_delayed (,#tot_position) delay edit '9,999,999.99'
   ...
   ...
   set-delay-print #total_delayed with #total_amt


If you are pre-6.0, then the most popular option would probably be to
store the the values you are going to print in an array, figuring up the
values for totals/counts/averages/etc as you go.  Print the calculated
values and then process through the array printing from it.
