Conacatenating two fields is easy, in the sense that
you can just say 'revPrintText (field 1 & return &
field 2), ...'
revPrintText does not support printing of multiple
columns ; if you want this functionality, file an
enhacement request using Bugzilla, and I'm sure it
will be considered for one of the next versions.

That's really up to the user to decide how things get
printed and to what printer (*) ; there are only a few
options we can set at programming level ; most of
these start with 'print' so look at the Transcript
Dictionary entry for 'printScale' and work your way
through the 'See also' pulldown list.

(*) I too would like more control over printing
affairs, including the option to print to a predefined
printer without user intervention, with a saved page
setup ; people in data entry environments absolutely
detest having to click a "Print" button or hitting the
return button (every keystroke adds up to entry time)

I can't seem to reproduce this here ; can you print it
to a PDF file and attach it to the bugzilla report
you're going to make for this problem ?

Best regards,
