Thanks to you and Razzak. I think if I end up in the win version, I'll
need the report within a report idea. Thanks.

Are you going to use the DOS or Windows upgrade? If you stay in DOS,
I believe the "old" way of doing this will still work (someone can
correct me, I don't have anyone on new DOS version). If you plan on
going to windows, you can no longer printer multiple reports on one
page, unless you use the Pagemode commands. It's been this way since
the first 5.x RBase windows version, and is because of Windows
automatically kicking a page out after every print.
But in version 7.5 they introduced the concept of SubReports (which
is one report printed inside another). It might take some work to get
the structure figured out, but this might work for you.
You could also try printing the individual reports to a .txt file
and then just printing the .txt file to the printer.

Ok I ordered the upgrade offer but while I'm waiting to try it out,
I'm concerned about what Karen writes below. I have several reports
that I print to the same piece of paper by not allowing a form feed
after each one 'til the last one. Will that method be impossible or
nearly so with the upgrade? I'm now using 4.5++
Thanks

Probably the biggest code "conversion" you'll find you have to do is
when you are printing reports. You currently go to a printer using:
OUTPUT PRINTER
PRINT report
OUTPUT SCREEN
7.x will ignore the "output printer" command and instead print the
report to the screen. However, from the screen you can choose to
then go to the printer (or a PDF file, etc.). This is the way that
most programmers have decided to program.
But if you have a report that HAS to go to the printer immediately,
you would have to change your code to:
PRINT report OPTION PRINTER
