General description of the page command :

Each output device has a certain physical (page) size (lines x cols) associated with it. The default "page" is assumed to be a terminal with 22 lines and 80 columns displayable. Some DESL functions normally write one or more "pages" worth of information to the output device. Via the "page" command, this page size is configurable to any lines/columns combination within the limits of, for lines, from 22 to 999, and for columns, 20 to 130. Both of the secondary items which can be specified after the "page" command are optional. The FIRST optional item is the number of lines in the page, and the SECOND optional item is the number of columns in the page. If no items are given, the default page size of 22 lines/80 columns is restored. To set the number of columns in a page, since it is the second optional item, the number of lines will also have to be set. When the "page" size is changed, it remains changed until a subsequent "page" command resets it again. (See "status" command.)
