Facebook Application

I *hate* to agree with Mark. :-) But I had already written exactly the same
thing as he did... But then I read forward in the thread just to see what
everyone else had said... So I dleeted my response.  Really, using the I/O
routines to open() and then writeline() every line just the way you want it
then close() and you have the most control possible.

I do have a lot of old processes that make quicky html pages out of simple
filePro data... Using the filePro HTML commands, but only because when I
wrote those, I didn't know any better.
