Re: [sqr-users] Dynamic Heading Size

[Ray Ontko <rayo@ontko.com>]

Bob,

The heading size is a fixed number.  However, there is nothing to 
prevent you from printing beyond the number of declared lines.

For example, if you declare the header as 3 lines, the body
will aways start on line 4.  If you _know_ that the current
page will have a 10 line header, start printing the body at
line 11 (e.g., position (7,1)).  Then, when you print the 
header, print lines 1-10.

Hope this helps.

Ray
