KEEP makes sure that input lines within its scope stay together
on the same page.
NEW starts a new page; you can specify that the next page is to
be odd or even (ejects a blank page if necessary).
PAGE sets the page number, turns page numbering on and off.
SET switches various internal TFORM flags on and off to
control formatting aspects such as boxes, joining,
justification, change marks, and hyphenation. Also sets
other parameters such as pitch, interline spacing, and tab
stops.
SOURCE includes text and TFORM commands from another file,
inserting them where the command appears and
formatting text as though it were part of the primary file.
SPACE writes a specified amount (lines, inches, whatever) of
white space; can be made to stop spacing on reaching a
page boundary, or to continue for the full amount.
TITLE writes a 1-, 2-, or 3-part title (with left-justified, right-
justified, and centered text) anywhere in a document.
VERBATIM treats all lines within its scope as text, ignoring any
commands; writes those lines “as is,” with no other
formatting.
