hard-coded page breaks

Q. How do I hard-code a page break character (CTRL-l) in a text document
in linux?

I can't seem to do this in PICO. I need to do listening logs for a sales
manager at a radio station and I need separate reports for each station
log, but I want to fax or e-mail a single file. Believe it or not, I still
do this in WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS because it works, and I know the WP fax
manager services. But, I want to do all this in linux. Is there anything
other than efax (they insist on faxes unless if I want to do e-mail I have
to do a word attachment as .doc. they don't know what to do with .txt
attachments or inline e-mails. They are not too techy, if you know what I
mean.

Q. are we talking a simple text editor here like VI or PICO and then
sending a .txt file through efax? But, I need to do hard forced page
breaks.


Like I said before, I want to use linux myself but still be able to
communicated with sighted people and other blind people who don't
know about or care about linux, and I want to be able to do more
than just e-mail to them. I want to make it look to them like I am
using windows without them necessarily knowing that I am using
linux. If you know what I mean.

Thanks for the suggestions. -- Bill Gaughan
