That's what I figured as well. That WRITE should work and when it didn't, I tried PM. Neither ended up working.
And yes, when I coded my WRITE I specified SF. Thanks everyone for their feedback. I am going to continue my debugging and see if I can figure out what I've got wrong.

You would need to do WRITE SF followed by CHECK for each line. You can try blocking them, but probably not worth the effort - simply do short blocks.
