My memory is that making the second and subsequent message files was

but I was able to confuse myself with some regularity.

I've used them in the past for other things and, years ago, even

reports.

Column titles is where I'm having a problem wrapping my mind around it.

BUT.... (light bulb moment!).... Maybe just one big string for the full
width of column titles. I was stuck on individuals but just retrieving
