I just wrote this in a few minutes.
it should give you the basics of a cursor

CREATE CURSOR mytest (cline c(80))
SELECT mytest 
APPEND BLANK 
replace cline WITH "1 first line" 

APPEND BLANK 
replace cline WITH "2 second line"
APPEND BLANK 
replace cline WITH "this is the third line of text "
APPEND BLANK 
replace cline WITH "this is another line of txt "
LIST cline to print off  
browse

>I'm not that used to using the Create Cursor command. It doesn't go away like it's supposed to according to the docs and when I try to execute "list texthold.lineid off to print" from the command line, it gives the error message "not a table". Is there another way to get that file to print?
