Wow--thanks, Bill.  I keep forgetting about jsfile and it is documented.
For someone who already has  a fair amount of code already 
using html :cr, then html :tx ... , just switching it to use jsfile :cr and
jsfile :tx would 
be much simpler than switching it to use open and writeline.  Would have to
watch 
out for the line endings on long lines since 'jsfile' is 2 bigger than
'html' - but gosh 
if you didn't think that was a problem you could global replace them outside
of 
fp in a few seconds.

(for vi I think the ed command to switch them
 would be:  :g/html \"1\" ^A/s/html \"1\" ^A/jsfile \"1\" ^A/g)

	Use JSFILE :CR to create the file.

	It creates an ASCII file just like HTML excepts adds no data, labels
or anything.

	You can then add what you want the header to be with:

	JSFILE "1" :TX "stuff"

	You are in complete control at that point just as Bruce like his
syntax to be.

		Well -I tried some things with variations on the fp HTML :cr

		command, and I don't believe Marv can use it to start off
his 
		output document.  

		I was not able to get anything other than one type of
document 
		type specification by using the :dt option.  But maybe there
are 
		reserved codes that come after the :dt to set up for
different doc 
		types. I couldn't find any documentation of such.

		BUT, you can use:

			html :cr [outdocpathandname] :tx [other stuff]

		and that output (otherstuff) does appear *before* 
		the <HTML> tag.  So I tried it with Marv's requirement and
it 
		worked fine to handle the document type spec.

		What I could not find a way to do is embed anything else
within 
		the <HTML> tag as in <HTML xmlns="....">.  I even tried
using :zz 
		and that didn't help.  (5.0.14).

		And to answer your question Mark, I don't believe there is
any 
		way to use fp's HTML commands to append to a file.

		So back to saying 'just use open and writeline, for crying
out loud..' :)
