Jack,
You may try to play with the _ASCIIROWS and _ASCIICOLS settings, but unfortunately there is no guarantee (at least last time I've tried) to have the file properly formatted.
Several years ago when I faced this problem I ended up creating these reports myself using SCAN/EDSCAN and strtofile(). There are several reports to text files in Downloads, as far as I know. One of them is Hilmar's Zonneveld.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
