| The box functions are still "working", but because your barcode font
| is probably a different pitch than the regular text, the box elements
| are NOT likely to line up. The same is true if you put a few condensed
| characters in the middle of the box.
| 
| What you can do is to use the "tabs" printer codes in the hp-XXX tables
| to anchor the box characters affected by the barcode.

Don't do that!  Visit the filePro room at www.tinyurl.com/yuag7, where
Jim Asman is present more often than not, and thus avoid fattening the
bank account of your telephone company. :-)
