Well I got it to Print but now the message is
can't print this type of data, then it PRINTS it exactly as I want it!
AAAAAH! (sorry I have been working on this project 15 hours a day for the
past two weeks and tonight's an all nighter to "finish" it)

I changed the code to:
set doc = new(xtra "PrintOMatic")
> if not objectP(doc) then exit
> setDocumentName doc, "Action Plan"
> newPage doc -- add a new page
> 
>
>print doc = (member "entry_duration", RETURN, RETURN, member "entry_vision")

----(it won't print it with brackets like the manual says to do, lingo sees
that as an expected list, BUT, when I try to print from the list using
brackets, it prints out white paper)


> set doc = 0
> 
> end
Anybody know what's going on with this? Thanks in advance.
Chris
