I agree with this. Since we were dicussing the differences in report 
engines, I listed the ones I thought were important. But as you noted, 
it is possible to do many types of report printing by directly scripting 
the behaviors into a stack. It can get tricky though, and complex 
reports can sometimes take nearly as long to script as the stack they 
accompany. As Revolution expands in the future, I hope to see more 
automation included in report printing.
