Hi Mike,
Seems to work if you add:-
.am pg@top
. t*hm
..
Somewhere near the top of hdtbl-issue.ms. The man page says:-
A table which does not fit on a partially filled page is printed
automatically on
the top of the next page if you append the little utility macro t*hm
to the page
header macro of your document’s main macro package. For example, say
.am pg@top
. t*hm
..
if you use the ms macro package.
Cheers
Deri
