     That would be pretty easy, yes.
     
     I can't find command syntax to do this.  Are you aware of any?
     Perhaps it should be a new command, or it could be GUI-only,
     without any corresponding syntax (though this would be useful
     through syntax also).


When I want to do this, I use a syntax similar to 


DATA LIST LIST /x (a12)  y *.
BEGIN DATA.
One 1
Two 2
Three 3
END DATA.

PRINT OUTFILE='foo.txt'
        /x (A12) y (F7).

EXECUTE.
