paper size

        Does this mean that I'll also be able to select 11 x 17
        paper and then print two 8.5 x 11 pages on it?

This sounds like a request for an n-up option as well as a @Paper
option.  I'm not sure that Lout is the right place for this; this
kind of thing is supposed to be the domain of PostScript filters;
i.e. the idea is to pass Lout's output through another program that
massages it into this form - so you can print it 2-up one day and
1-up the next, from the same PostScript file.  My intention was that
the @Paper option would simply determine the (1-up) page size,
replacing the @PageHeight and @PageWidth options.

There is a program at my site called mpage which does this kind
of thing.  I have a feeling that good PostScript citizenship
requires that Lout refrain from duplicating such features as n-up.
