THIS is the option I was looking for! :-)
I didn't noticed it.
Activated the option and works as expected.
Bill, Thanks for your help...and again for such good work!

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for all your interesting comments, Bill gave me the location of the
"switch" to change the display in the Inform box editor.
Also, I didn't mention that these where my firsts sysrpl programs.
I'm sure that your valuable informations WILL serve when I'll be more
"sysrpl fluent" or when I get more expertise :-D
For the moment, my learning cycle is "let the program (form generator) do
the job, analyze, modify to fit my needs"...
As I plan to create a calculations program of electrical networks
(Short-circuit currents, main distribution boards, calculation of
electrical cables gauges, fuses/mains ...) I'm sure these weren't my last
questions ;-)

sorry for my bad English,
Regards,
