+<p>A <em class="dfn">vertical position trap</em> calls a macro when the formatter&rsquo;s
+vertical drawing position reaches or passes, in the downward direction,
+a certain location on the output page or in a diversion. Its
+applications include setting page headers and footers, body text in
+multiple columns, and footnotes.

+<p>Enable vertical position traps if <var class="var">flag</var> is non-zero or absent;
+disable them otherwise. Vertical position traps are those set by the
+<code class="code">wh</code> request or by <code class="code">dt</code> within a diversion. The parameter
+that controls whether vertical position traps are enabled is global.
+Initially, vertical position traps are enabled. The current value is
+stored in the <code class="code">.vpt</code> read-only register.
