Among many others, how about: Allowing use of variables in Report functions to specify the page size, etc. Eg., I have a report function that I want to allow the user to either display or print. If I set it up so that it displays on a 24 line screen nicely, I can't use the same report function for output to a printer w/o goofing up the pagination. Support terminfo on the HP. Bigger strings as parms to functions. -- Andy
