Subject: new method get_next_page_number
During the event handlers (usually the preNext), the programmer often needs to know what page is coming next, in order to make sure the right thing appears. In the past, it was sufficient to assume that pagePtr+1 was the next page. However, the introduction of the Skip mechanism can break that assumption. I propose a new method get_next_page_number() that takes Skip into account to calculate what the next page will be. (We'll probably create another new method get_back_page_number() at the same time) -- - - Martin 'Kingpin' Thurn

As with all of your suggestions, it seems sensible to me. Just one thing: is Skip not an old method? I thought ... but maybe it was never released. I also thought the page number was already made public, but it's been a while (sorry). Lee
