I entered this as bug #371 on Issue Tracker.

Attached is a patch containing a trivial fix.  The issue is in
newdata.spad.pamphlet, where FORCE-OUTPUT is being referenced as a
symbol, not as a function call.

The patch contains a new file: src/input/iprntpk.input.pamphlet which
tests for this bug in the regression suite.


Take care,
Steve
