I don't see what \dimen 10 is doing in any of this. It never seems to
get set, so I assume it remains zero.
If so, you have \vsize zero, so minimal pages must be expected.

Thank you, Jonathan. Now formatted and included in the next iteration
(code below, with "showhyphens.tex" attached). I /believe/ that
"showhyphens.tex" is functionally equivalent to David's code, but as he
appears to have had a broken space bar and an intermittent "=" key, I
cannot be sure that they are functionally identical ... And I /stil//l
/don't understand why the code generates two pages.
