Thanks Ken.  What I really want to do is print MUMBLE.TXT WITH gray 
bars, but WITHOUT line numbers and page headings.  (Why?  Because 
MUMBLE.TXT already contains line numbers and page headings.)

Specifying DATA_TYPE=LIST gives me headings and line numbers that I 
don't want.  Not specifying DATA_TYPE=LIST does not give me gray bars 
that I do want.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
