> How can I make several lines keep together on the same page?
One stratagy is to put good places for the page to break just above and below the section you want to keep together, ie
\pagebreak[3] ... \pagebreak[3]
This will tempt tex to break at the pagebreak commands, not inside. If that fails, and keeping lines together is more important than a flush bottom, then you can use the \fillbreak, (or is that filbreak) a command from plain tex, though also in latex. or just insert \pagebreak[4] at appropriate places before the final printing.
A word to the wise: don't even start to think about page breaks until you prepare your \emph{absolutely final version}. That is after your document is written, proofread, spell checked and line-breaking checked.
The \pagebreak command tells LaTeX to break the current page at the point of the command. With the optional argument, number, you can convert the \pagebreak command from a demand to a request. The number must be a number from 0 to 4. The higher the number, the more insistent the request is.
