I'm having some problems with Text_IO, and Barnes' book doesn't
cover it well.

I'm writing a compiler. Programmers tend to embed form feeds in
the text, without expecting the compiler to worry about them.
In particular, "Page 7: Line 1: Invalid character" wouldn't
amuse most programmers. Is there any way to tell the compiler
to ignore page breaks?

I see no trend at all, except toward women playing mean and ugly 
sociopaths who are good at killing and who enjoy dark powers. Maybe 
it's just my friends?
