OK, fellow readers and posters:
DUH, the string I am building just so happens to contain a quote mark single (') or double (") and when I try to echo that variable to the TEMP 'PRINTFIL", well, it takes the text ">> PRINTFIL" as part of the constructed string and sends it to the screen NOT the "PRINTFIL" that I'm building. Shoot!
Thanks!
