Hi Carlos,

I think that a more elegant way to do it would be for:

  (define default-titleblock nil)

to disable the titleblock[1], and

  (define default-titleblock "")

to give a warning as before.

I'd submit a revised patch myself, but I think you'd be able to change it 
faster than I could find the right piece of code. ;)

Cheers,

Peter

[1] Am I right in thinking that 'nil' in Scheme has the same meaning as in 
ANSI Lisp, i.e. null?
