Well put.

Okay, running fP on a Windows Terminal Server, therefore have to
'pass-through' print certain reports without the reliance on PFPT being set.
In Nix this was easy with the -PT flag on a *report menu command line.
According to the fP help file, this isn't available for the Windows version.
I just need verification of that.

I'd like to avoid having to make conventions utilizing PFPT or -PQ.  Having
-PT available seems to be  the quickest and easiest route to my goal.

Thnx.
