Re: preventing lines from printing with substitution tables

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

You mean it still prints?

Even so, there's a simple solution: use TYS to display it as it would
print, then TY that onscreen file (which doesn't have the hidden lines).


Be sure to enclose the CR-LFs within the ≪IV...≫ if you don't want the
blank lines to show.




I've never seen ≪iv≫ as a documented xy3 command, but I tried it. The
line disappears from the screen (visible only in expanded mode), which
unfortunately doesn't serve my purpose. But thanks.

John,
≪IV...≫ doesn't work? Carl was negating only ≪NT...≫ for Xy3.
