     Setup a subroutine at the bottom of your processing table that only
gets called once, but that writes the header row to the spreadsheet.  

     You will need to use the "write" command to write the header line to
the spreadsheet, then use "write" again to write the first data line, then
"write" again for each subsequent data line.  

      If you look back in the archives on this list for the work "export",
you should be able to find some sample code.  Otherwise I can dig up some
code with a header line this afternoon and send it to you.
