TTITLE option text OFF/ON

where option refers to the placement of the title:

1. COLUMN n (start in some column, n)
2. SKIP m (skip m blank lines)
3. TAB x (tab x positions)
4. LEFT/CENTER/RIGHT (default is LEFT)

The same holds for BTITLE.

In addition, page numbers may be added with the extension:
