Re: NB...BB blocks that did break and shouldn't

Re Eric v. Tassel's message on non-breakable blocks, there is an
undocumented feature that greatly simplifies many of the uses of this
admirable feature. If you want to format a file as a series of blocks, all
of which are non-breakable, you don't need to use the BB (breakable block)
command at all. Just as in the IBM mainframe word processor SCRIPT, where
such blocks were called "keeps," the NB command, when used alone, ends one
block and begins another.
