another obstacle the engineers give us to program around!

Anyplace you have to parse output is confounding!!
I think most of this is in system() variables - but there are some things
that don't seem to be...
Listuser is also an .exe in the \bin directory. Have you tried parsing that
output? It may be more advantageous if you're close to your user
: [U2] [UD] Tab characters in output
I have found the tab character to be extremely effective in delineating
columns of information. The simple command:
SWAP CHAR(9) WITH @VM IN report-table
Instantly changes the report to a usable table in UniBasic. Using any
'printing' character (like

While I'm at it, it would also be nice to dump list/sort output into an
array.
Not exactly what you're asking for, but you may get some help from the TO
DELIM UniQuery keywords to create flat, delimited files that can be read
in by your program or by Excel and other applications. I use it
Thanks. Actually, I do use this one. In fact, I have an enhancement request
in that it put CRLF after each line instead of just LF on Windows

The file you are trying to open, '[filename]', is in
a different format than specified by the file extension.
Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a
trusted source before opening the file.
