Razzak, thanks for the explanation. I now understand the difference between Text (which is really "delimited text") and Report Emulation Text. I should have been using Report Emulation Text, and the condition I was experiencing was not in fact a bug. There is room here to improve the error handling however. The program should never write a zero length file, rather the user should be told what he's doing wrong. Those of us who don't work with R:Base every day need a little help sometimes. I am grateful for your quick and thorough reply. Tom Hawley New York [EMAIL PROTECTED]
