One other question.... you have any problems setting the value in CONFIG.FPW?

I have tried _ASCIICOLS=160 but I keep getting 80 for the value (I print the _ASCIICOLS value on the top of the report to double-check it).

Any idea why the value is not passing over to the program from the CONFIG.FPW?

Thanks!!!
