If you set landscape paper then foilheads are printed on the landscape
paper. If you don't set landscape then rotatefoilhead prints in
landscape. So you see, if you want all your foilheads to be printed in
landscape mode you should set the landscape paper option.
The foils handling of landscape and rotated foils is definitely confusing
and many times you don't get quite what you'd expect -- I know I wrote the
FoilTeX docs in the Extended manual. I _always_ use landscape¹ and _only_
use foilheads or shortfoilheads. This works fine for me.

You should be able to add some appropriate LaTeX or TeX command but don't
ask me what it is you'll have to wait for Herbert to answer that one.

¹ A simple tip for presenters is that you should never use more than about
two thirds of a portrait page but if you use landscape pages you can
fill them. This is mainly due to the fact that people up the back of
the room will still see the bottom of your foils.
