Bernie, As Dennis McGrath pointed out a good few months back, you can use WRITE.... CONTINUE to suppress the cr/lf when writing to a file.
R:Syntax doesn't show AT & Continue as mutually exclusive so they should work together. I know it's more work but, if it's a problem, why not just create a simple loop to write to the file first and then the screen? Or write just to the file and then TYPE or LAUNCH it so that you can see what's been written?
