Mike,

Thanks very much for the suggestion about using mpage.  I just installed it
and as you said it solved the stair-stepping problem perfectly.  The only
change I had to make to the above command was to change the top margin, as
it was not printing the first 3-4 lines of the file.

Thanks also to all the others who responded to this thread.  I very much
appreciate everyone's help.
