DISPLAY REPORT text filename "report sales 2005.p6r" dialog style 0
The dialog form would have thick borders, caption bar and system menu.

| 0 | (Default) Form with thick borders, caption bar and system menu. |
| 2 | Form with thin borders and no caption bar. |
The report textfile path and name can have any suffix you want, but be consistent and call them all with the same suffix, so that when doing a listing of a directory all the report textfiles bunch together.
