Parameters	LANDSCAPE specifies the landscape form orientation. If you
	only specify LANDSCAPE, grid units and form origin correspond
	to the standard grid format (FMT1).

PORTRAIT specifies the portrait form orientation. If you only specify PORTRAIT, grid units and form origin correspond to the standard grid format for the portrait page (FMT6), unless you change them with the GRID command.

Refer to the ªFMT grid format propertiesº appendix for more information.

PAGE, SIZE, and IS specifies the width and height of the virtual page.

The value you use to specify the special page size is n. You must use positive numbers and you cannot exceed the size specified in the PAPER SIZE command. You can use two decimal places when you specify inches. You must express DOTS and XDOTS as integers.

units indicates the unit of measure you want to use when specifying the size of the virtual page. The units you can choose are INCHES, CENTIMETERS, DOTS, and XDOTS. You can use two decimal places when you specify inches and centimeters. You must express DOTS and XDOTS as integers.

Defaults If you do not use the LANDSCAPE/PORTRAIT command, HFDL uses these defaults:

·LANDSCAPE (orientation)

·FMT1 (grid units and form origin)

·8.5 by 11 inches (virtual page)

·INCHES (if you do not specify units).

Examples Long form:

PORTRAIT PAGE SIZE IS 8.5 INCHES WIDE BY 11 INCHES HIGH;

Short form:

PORTRAIT;

It allows HFDL to default to the FMT6 predefined format.
