Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Make sure that you have at least two printers installed. For this example,
the following printers are used:
HP LJ4L (called "LaserJet")
Panasonic KX-P1624 (called "Panasonic KX-P1624").
The LaserJet is the default Windows printer.
2. Execute the following code and follow the commented instructions:
=SYS(1037) && choose the Panasonic.
=SYS(1037) && choose the LaserJet.
CREATE REPORT Test
3. Save the report and close it.
4. Run the following code from the Command window and note the contents of the
memo fields:
USE Test.FRX
MODIFY MEMO Tag, Tag2
After the name "LaserJet", there are some left over letters from the Panasonic
printer. Please note that if the second printer chosen has a longer name than
the first, this does not seem to happen.
