Try this little test program.  It works fine on my unix box:

begin-setup
declare-layout default
   orientation=landscape
end-declare
end-setup

begin-program
do main
end-program

begin-procedure main
move 1 to #i
while #i <= 90
   print #i (1,1) edit 888
   print '*' (1,99)
   next-listing
   add 1 to #i
end-while
end-procedure
