 OK, fine for full screen paging. The original contributer was looking
 for scrolled reportd in a window. I would imagine something like:
 
         OPEN WINDOW win1, AT 3, 3 WITH 10 ROWS, 40 COLUMNS
         PAGE <textfile>
 
 I don't believe that the compiler should be responsible for checking
 line lengths, simply foreshortening long lines should be ok, that
 would make the implementation easier anyway.

 Maybe, I wouldn't know.

 I'll shut up 'cos I'm at home and can't check, but I'd've been
 willing to bet real money that my installation instructions said,
 "Create a user/group informix, log in as user informix, install
 software..."
 
 I'll be back! 8-)
