Following on from John's comments, I'd point you back at f114r again: it's 
one of the "starred paragraphs" pages, and the gallows you're talking about 
appear on the first line (often multiple times) of all the starred 
paragraphs (apart from the tenth one) on that page.

In fact, this could be used as the basis of a good argument that the 
starred paragraphs in that section are in fact paragraphs (ie, that they 
function in the same sense as paragraphs in the main body of the VMS), and 
not pure misdirection.

Cheers, .....Nick Pelling.....
