I haven't done that, but would another method work for you? A simple way
to mail a report is (with batch) logon as a user in Desk, then copy the
MPE file into a message and mail it. The distribution list can be created
or moved from a stored copy. If you want the report shown as a text item
(displayable in desk), you have to stick (I think) to 80 col. output and
tell Desk when you copy it in:
 
[With the message open:]
 
Copy text from (mpefilename)
