Mike, That's an interesting idea. But I'm not sure if it would work. There is a function, FOOTER^TIUPRPN2 that keeps track of the printing position on the page, and writes a footer if needed, and then goes to next page. So if I just nixed the form feed command, it would still advance down the page (leaving lots of white space.)
However, I don't have any better solution to offer now. So I appreciate your input.
