Bill didn't want to accept my statement that I wanted to keep everything
vanilla.

I have not worked in a *nix environment in over 15 years.  I have the "free"
*nix CD-ROM from Microsoft but have not installed on my system as yet.  

One of the reasons I don't want to use outside programs is I will have to
install & maintain them.  I only use outside programs when there is no solution
from within filepro.  I have used a old shareware program  from PC Magazine
called Browse for many years.  I renamed the program file cat.exe as I found it
easier to type.  This program displays a text file 132 characters wide with left
& right scrolling as well as forward & back.  I would send a report to file and
then "cat" it to screen.  Would love this functionality with the -pv option.
Although an old dos program, it still works with WinXP.

However, today I would use FPSQL to generate the report to screen with similar
results.
