Sorry, you're right. I was fooled by the code in your demo Generic.exw .
After looking at that for a while, I saw what was happening, and that I would
have to use startDoc/startPage ~ endPage/endDoc pairs with my own
page description in between. That method works fine - the reports look
great!

It also would seem to be fairly easy to write a routine that would accept
escaped text and set the font, size, position, etc. automatically - while
keeping track of the line spacing as well.  Maybe I'll have time to write a
report module. Maybe I'll win the lottery.....
