I have one box:

(#<TYPESET:HBOX 1C42F5EF>)

I printed (typeset::boxes *pdf-document*) and it went like this:

(#<TYPESET:HBOX 1172BF0F>)
(#<TYPESET:HBOX 1172BF0F>)
(#<TYPESET:HBOX 1172BF0F>)
(#<TYPESET:HBOX 1172BF0F>)

(#<TYPESET:HBOX 12149C27>)
(#<TYPESET:HBOX 12149C27>)
(#<TYPESET:HBOX 12149C27>)

It changes three times and the last one just keeps on going for minutes 
and
minutes until I break it.

draw-page, but it doesn't tell me exactly where in draw-page (LW for 
Mac)

Can't find a v-split symbol in the typeset package.  I believe I have 
version
0.7.

Yes, and in particular, the multi-page-hello works just fine.  Creates 
seven pages
with text.

My document is composed of some pretty big tables, a few paragraphs and 
image
and not much else.  Hm, I just got this funny feeling that I've been 
told that tables won't
work well over multiple-pages.  Have I run into a wall here?
