Outputting formatted data
-------------------------

    ^outfix2^ varlist [^if^ exp] [^in^ range] ^using^ filename 
    ^, c^ols^(^numlist^)^ [ ^f^ormat ] 
    

Description
-----------

^outfix2^ lists varlist in filename. 


Remarks
-------

^outfix2^ displays data on screen and logs what it displays in a 
temporary file, which is then copied to a permanent file. Therefore, 
it may not be run ^quietly^ without suppressing its useful output. Any 
logging previously started will be suspended while it is operating. 


Options
-------

^cols(^numlist^)^ is a required option specifying the columns in which 
    the values for each variable should start. ^outfix2^ checks only that 
    the numbers in numlist are ascending integers. It is the user's
    responsibility to check that the column specification provides enough 
    space for data to be shown properly. 

^format^ specifies that the format of each variable should be used in 
    listing. The format may be used to control number of decimal places 
    shown and right- or left-justification. See @format@. 


Example
-------

    . ^outfix2 price weight mpg using auto.out, cols(1 11 21)^
