I am looking for the word which describes the marks made on the piece of paper underneath the piece of paper on which I write. Please reply to me if you know what the word is. Thanks, -- Paul Shields, shields@yunccn.UUCP

Actually, I was looking for a word with a slightly different meaning: Palimpsest - n. writing-material or manuscript on which the original writing has been effaced to make room for a second writing. Thanks to all who replied. -- Paul Shields, shields@yunccn.UUCP
