Problem solved!  Thanks to Chester Patterson's kind help, this hangup was 
solved by doing

OS9: tmode -pause

before running format.  It was stopping at the end of the screen (thus the 
neat boundary for where the numbering ended).

Only the Howard Medical documentation (written by Chester) bothered to 
mention this.  Not a word about it in the Burke and Burke manual.  They 
must have been plagued with support calls from folks like me.  I guess I 
"should have known" to turn off scroll pause.
