I set some traps in the selection prc and then the output prc and found 
the problem.  In these outputs, I use the command "printer file 
"/appl/fpuser/"{@id{"/reportname" since I am using Reform to print 
with.  This works find on the SCO 5.06 and 5.07 systems and seems to be 
an issue with SCO 6.0.  Perhaps I have somethings set wrong with the 
printer settings that I have overlooked? 

Thanks,

Scott
