I have a signature block that I want to print once for each group at
the bottom of the page. The group footer won't work because there's
seemingly no way force it to the bottom of the page. That leaves the
Page Footer. That works fine for groups that are all on one page but
not for multi-page groups. In the case of a multi-page group, is it
possible to suppress the footer on all but the last page? Is there
some system variable that indicate this?

you can assign your own variable,
use the group footer band to assign the variable,
or some other means in your code,
and use the print when in the page footer to print it or not.

I wound up creating a variable that changed from .F. to .T. in the
group footer's on exit routine, and used that in the footer to control
when the sig block is printed.

Now I need to figure out how to repeat Detail Header 1 when Detail 1
band spans multiple pages. Seems like it should have an option like,
"Reprint group header on each page" liike Group Headers do, but it
doesn't....
