incorrect or lacking" to the list of the values of participating in this mail

hmmmmm, I guess they forgot to update the manual :-)

My 4.3.2 documentation for SQR(W)P says:
"Using the -PRINTER command line flag you specify the type of printer for which 
this file is being prepared.  The options are Line Printer, HP LaserJet, HTML, 
PostScript, and Windows. " Then later, when listing the SQR Print Command-Line 
Flags, specifies:
-PRINTER:xx     Causes printer type xx to be used when creating all .LIS files. 
xx
Printer Type    Example
LP      Line Printer    -PRINTER:LP
HP      HP LaserJet     -PRINTER:HP
HT      HTML            -PRINTER:HT
PS      PostScript      -PRINTER:PS
WP      Windows         -PRINTER:WP


I guess we can add "learning when the documentation you paid for is incorrect 
or lacking" to the list of

According to my records, the -printer:eh and -eh:csv were both introduced
in version 4.3.1 of SQR, so yes, CSV *is* an output option in 4.3.2.
