I don't think that was the case here.  All other uses of FORMAT did have
the initial carriage control space character.  It was just those that
printed data read from the input file that didn't.  And the input file
does have that space character, but apparently it got lost on the way to
TYPE.

Anyway, no use dwelling to much on this.  Thanks all for the help!
