Bernie:
Sending reports to PRINTER with SCREN has not been a problem, I have had
problems only when I want to store the report to a file. I have given up
trying to store reports to a file (using 6.5++), as the formatting is lost
unless you use Adobe Distiller (which my clients are unwilling to get) and
you pretty much restrict your form to mono spaced fonts. I have had better
luck using the old PAGEMODE which basically does what you are trying to do;
it does not display correctly to the screen (if you lines are over 156
characters) but it will create a text file correctly. What I do is create a
text file which I then LAUNCH on WORD where I can change the orientation,
margins and font size to display my reports in Landscape, compressed. If you
are going to be at the conference, I will be glad to show you some pretty
involved reports that I have created using PAGEMODE.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - out printer with screen win 6.5++ 1.864

out printer with screen
write 'line A'   at 10 21
write 'line B'   at  12 21

results in:  correctly on screen but on printer I get"
line A Line B

write 'line A'
write ' '
write 'line B'
I get:
line A
line B

If I want a blank line between the 2 lines I have to add an extra   write '
'   between lines.

Are we not supposed to use out printer with screen  in windows version?
