What I eventually ended up doing with this particular project was learning how to use externally-described print files (which would have saved me lots of headaches on the previous project!), and learning how to use FONT and POSITION.

By the way: Is there an easy way to calculate the set-width for a character string in, say, "FONT(2304 (*POINTSIZE 8))"? Or even just to get a width table, so I could calculate the set-width myself? There are a number of places where I have to apply a horizontal scale factor (e.g., "FONT(2304 (*POINTSIZE 8 &N4104))") in order to get the contents of a field to fit the alotted space.
