    Help
    	I'm using an 'across' verb and trying to get the
    	headers to line up over the columns. I am unable to
    	get an exact lineup. I have tried using a define
    	and concatenate operation..ie.
    		fyyr/a8 = '  ' || fy || fq || '  ' 
    	where fyyr is used as:
    		across fyyr
    	but focus suppresses the leading 2 blanks.
    
    	how do I force the blanks to print?
    
    	or any other ideas?
    
    thanks

                               ^           ^

     My first impression would be to take out one of the '|'
     symbols in your definition.  || is a 'hard concatenate'
     and will remove extra spaces.  It should work with just
     one.  Same goes for the one at the end of your expression.
