			JUSTIFICATION can be specified as:
			* \Eleft_justify – The default positioning is left to right.
			* \Eright_justify – Printing will be aligned on the right. The right boundary is calculated based on fixed width character positions even when using proportional fonts.
			* \Ecenter - Printing is centered within the space provided.

	(As of 4.2) CHR$(6) implies right justify the previous field for printed output. This works just like \Eright_justify except \Eright_justify applies to the following text whereas CHR$(6) pertains to the preceding text.

	Perhaps the most exciting new feature of Native Windows Printing is a new NWP-only escape sequence for printing Boxes and Shading. With this command, it has never been easier to generate grids and boxes, columns and tables for all your reporting needs.

During PREVIEW, clicking "Print (all)" produces a standard Windows print dialog box so the user can specify copies, range and other printing options.

			The PREVIEW window continues to be non-modal (permitting multiple

			This avoids the eclipsing of the preview window by the initiating window.
