[OS X TeX] Re: unwanted blank page

[Lionel Lovitch]

I too had a problem the other day with an unwanted blank page
at the very beginning of the printout.
Perhaps someone could tell me how to avoid it.
An example of my source is below and I typesetted with TeXShop:
the first page is blank.
Thanks and best wishes for 2006
