This information is present in the PostScript output file, but it
is not accessible from within the Lout document.  If you had
asked for "i for the cover sheet, 1 for the first page, and so
on", that could have been accommodated quite simply using the
@PageMark symbol described (from memory) in the cross references
section of the User's Guide.

I'm not sure why you would need this information.  Perhaps if
I knew what you wanted it for I might be able to suggest some
quite different approach to whatever it is.  At the moment,
though, it just looks as though you are setting up two
conflicting (and hence confusing) numbering systems for the
pages.
