<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>If that is your entire script, I am stumped because the defaults for string attributes should print something (it may not be pretty, but it should print). If this is part of a larger script, could you have done something that causes the string color to be the same as the background color? There is, of course, the set string command, but set background or set color could also cause this problem. That's my only guess.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Good thought, but unfortunately that wasn't it - I'm in landscape mode.</DIV>
<DIV>I also tested the print statement by removing the if and endif lines and it works........</DIV>
