My fault I wasn't more clear.  It's a text file generated nightly.  I won't be able to add @ codes.  I thought maybe there was a displayfile(); function or something I could use to write it to the screen.

Right now I'm doing something like this -

        var lines=f.readAll();
        f.close();
        Unlock(f.name);
        dk.console.attr="G"
        dk.console.println(lines.join("\r\n"));

This works fine, but it comes out as one big dump and everyone has to scroll up to read the results.  Thanks!
