Or, send the output to a file and print it multiple times.  (Or, on *nix, 
pass the appropriate "print X copies" flag to the spooler.)

However, some people use RESET to do "unusual" things.  For example, as 
previously mentioned, print the grand totals first.  Or, print the same set 
of records, but with a different header on each page.  Or maybe use it with 
PRINT to only print some of the records one pass, and a different "some" on 
another pass, while still keeping them as only one report.
