Multi-page nodes or articles?

Does the new Drupal 6 offer any easy to implement stories that are multiple pages as opposed to the all on one page type that is standard?

I am not sure what your use
I am not sure what your use case is, but you might consider the book module.

I think the book module
I think the book module would probably be very appropriate for you.
I used drupal for about a year before I understood the book module, but I am starting to use it now and for certain use cases, it is pretty nice. I think yours would probably be a good fit.
That said, there are probably half a dozen or so other ways to do this, but I think the book module would probably be the most elegant and simplest.
Pager module?
By "multiple pages", perhaps you're thinking of a single long article broken into multiple pages by means of a "click to continue" type of link?
If so, the Paging module is for you. Works like a charm. (In 5.x, anyway. Don't know about 6.)

I just went off to research
I just went off to research the pager module. It isn't available for Drupal 6, but seems to be stable (judging by the release cycle) and under active development. You can find the project here:

Looks like it would definitely be worth checking out if the book module doesn't fit your needs.
Thanks, I'll consider this
Thanks, I'll consider this one. But do I need to wait for a D6 version to come out before I can start testing with it?
No. (Assuming you are using
No. (Assuming you are using Drupal 5. ) Go ahead with Drupal 5.
However, it is always wise to consider how you will upgrade when using non-core modules. If you are dealing with an active project that is widely used, usually the module will be updated and some sort of upgrade path provided. With every Drupal upgrade, however, there are, unforutunately (depending on your point of view), modules that don't get updated or that are very slow in getting updated.
It is sometimes useful to look and see if the module you are thinking about using was available for the last version of Drupal which would tend to indicate that it is an older and more established project.
