Hello Alan, Kris, and everyone else, Thanks for the information. RL is something I have just never really looked at. And now I want to manipulate it.
You are all very, very helpful.

Thanks, Kris! I meant to include 'double extra credit' for the protection of those Columns That Must Not Be Modified. I was indeed remiss in my failure to point out that displaying data beyond column 79 is dangerous. But if all you want to do is see a list of your spool files and their spool ids, you can just type "V 1 79 104 108" on the command line. Scroll up, scroll down. Issue commands on the command line. Do NOT type on any of the lines in the display - if you shift things around You'll Be Sorry! Especially, if you somehow make spoolid#1 look like spoolid#2! Restore the display by typing "V 1 79".
