what is a "form" to you?

if you want a report-style output, not cleanly paginated, but more a
"brute force" log file print, you might consider either logtext or jsfile 
- @once you can create/clear the file, put whatever header info you want 
in it, for each record conditionally put in what you want, and @done close 
and print the file.
