the REPORT command is supposed to run a quick report on the current
selection using the document name that you specify; if you give it ""
it is supposed to use a standard macintosh open dialog to allow you to
open one.

to get the behaviour that you want (just to have the q.r. editor open
up): use the REPORT command with a document name that doesn't exist
e.g. REPORT([CPU];"xxxx")
