   This is interesting, Tim. At the end of the first page I have:

 	    doc.build(story)
 	    doc._doSave = 0
 	    pg.showPage()

then I go on to the next page. But, only that first page is in the resulting
.pdf file. If, on the second page, I put a 'print' statement, that is
processed. The second page concludes with:

 	    pgnum = pg.getPageNumber()
 	    pg.drawCentredString(self.PAGE_SIZE[0]/2,36,str(pgnum-1))
 	    pg.showPage()

but it's not in the output. No python error messages are produced.

   Have you debugging suggestions?

Thanks again,

Rich
