Works like a charm. Thanks again.
So here is some minor stuff left to address with this project of mine:
First, I still have the problem I had before, with the \fbox and \parbox stuff.
Second, I am printing this on USLegal, with .25in margins all around, and .50in
columnsep (3 cols). It prints out just like I expect it, but the PostScript
output is screwy. (1) Nothing past the second column appears, and (2) though it
is a two pager, only one page shows up (though both of them print). None of
this happens when I make a custom size, increasing the USLegal width by one
inch in Landscape, nor does it happen when I use letter size, in any
orientation, or Legal in portrait orientation. So. The problem is exclusively
with USLegal, landscape orientation. What is the problem?
