Minor chgs to some text/opts could make it easier for newb

Hi!
I'm a brand new user of this pgm! Seems REALLY GREAT thus far!
So I hate to suggest chgs...but as a former COBOL pgmr who had to deal with a lot of dumb users, I have some initial suggestions that might make use easier, at least on this one tab:
1) On the "Current list" option, I'd chg "Output header" to "Output Header Fmt"
2) Then chg "Incl. date now" to "Current date"
3) Then chg "Incl. find specs" to "Find File specs"
4) And chg "Incl. column headers" to "Column Headings"
It may be a minor thing, but "date now" didn't do it for me...and you say "current date" in help file, so making it consistent would be better.
