Hi Joe,

The answer I gave should work for those cases when
you're using the 'print' command.
Your case involves the revPrintField command, where
you don't have control over the stack that is used for
printing.

A few questions :
- does this happen in the IDE or only in standalones ?
- if only in standalones, have you let the
distribution builder apply the default colours ?

If it also happens in the IDE, a trip to bugzilla is
in order, I think :-)

Best regards,

Jan Schenkel.
