It's supposed to do that. Somewhere in the script is something like

for file in ${files}
do

<stuff goes here>
done

That is where it loops on each file. Somewhere in that loop is the formfeed logic. You can find it by looking for the nofilebreak. Figure out why it's not working by echo stuff to a temp file.

hi

if i have understood your query correctly, then you may try the following;

if u can edit the files then u may insert a ^l (control L) either at the end or at the begining of the file or u can store a ^l in a separate file and you can fire it wherever u want for a form feed.
