Additionally, ever since this came up recently, "@wgt0" kept ringing a 
bell (as a label).  I don't see anything about it in help anywhere, but 
maybe I missed something.  It seems I've used it in a number of places.  
Also, evidently I've I used it on a system where "PFWGT0" is not set.  
It looks like it's a label that filepro respects as a trigger since I 
don't see anything on my part allowing flow to the label.

I don't see any examples where I've used it to try to add something to a 
print destination.  Looks like I've only used it for appending to a file 
write via writeline and close; or issuing html commands to wrap 
something up.  So maybe filepro does see this as a trigger when no 
records are selected, but can't use it by itself for appending to print 
destination.  Granted, this is still BC (before coffee).
