Or if you really cannot abide waiting that long (and have a editor that
doesnt remove all the spaces at the end of lines) edit the "dragon" file
to remove the bulk of the <control>H's that come directly after the
title page.  They take up about two-thirds of the file! The <control>H's
return the cursor to the top of the page and on fast machines keep the
said title page up for sufficiently long to read it (just).
:) have fun!
