Yes, I was so wrong... I don't know what I was thinking... it is the PRINT
which is NOT available in *clerk. And as I look through my older processing,
I see multiple PRINTS all over the place in output processes. But, what I
was trying to say... if it matters now (Ken seems to be onto something that
might be the problem...) was that using multiple PRINTS would not only print
the format, but ALSO add the values from that record into filePro-kept
subtotals and totals, wouldn't it?  It is this that I think would give
screwy (wrong) results.
