I like to use !P.MULTI because it takes care of a lot of
other things for you besides position. For example, it
also handles character sizing appropriately. And I've
never found !P.MULTI to be disastrous, except when
people forget to turn it off. Then it's disastrous
for the *next* guy, but that's not my problem. :-)

Cheers,

David
