Folks,
Without answering Erik's question (below) I would say this is definitely
an area where the documentation needs extension. The general question
is: How can a form that is created 'by hand' be reproduced under program
control (with exact positions of elements specified)?
Stan (Warford) does this question fall within your view programming efforts?
