Why not use a reportwriter instead of doing everything yourself?
It may be necessary to move the StringList into a (memory) table
such as kbmMemtable and then print from there. If this can be
done then even freereport should be able to deal with it.
Both, kbmmemtable and freereport, are free or very low cost
shareware components.
