Re: [MacPerl] text formatting in a MacPerl window

Adam,
Hmmm, no replies in a day ...
Have you looked at the report generation commands of Perl?
See the second half of my message:

(replace one @#ARGV with $#ARGV)
See also "Section 18. Formats" of the _Perl Reference Guide for Perl 5.000_.
(This stuff is not documented in MacPerl Power and Ease, but
_Programming Perl_ is pretty much online.)
