I have tried it.

I've got an output form wherein *@CB is not showing up properly (well, 
to be honest, it doesn't show up at all -- it's just blank, even though 
@CB is visible when I'm doing a browse from I/U/A) when the form is 
printed.  For many of my little questions like this, Mark and Jay have 
been helping me out substantially over IRC, so I haven't had to bother 
the list.

Rather than post all my code, and ask y'all to debug it for nothing, I 
thought I'd ask a yes/no question to see if I was attempting a 
reasonable thing.  When learning a new language, one isn't always sure 
what is reasonable and what is not.  So, the answers I got are good 
enough for me to tear into it for a while, bang my head against my 
reference book, and count the seconds until my training class next week, 
wherein I hope to get a better feel for things.  To be honest, if I'd 
had time to work on _this_ particular problem today, I'd have likely 
posted again, but I have another project wherein I'm apparently failing 
to 'goto' correctly, and it's driving me up the wall.
