Deployed report STILL won't run in runtime (Reporter Specific)

I can't get any reports to run in a deployed runtime. I have OI 3.5, win95, Novell client 32, Novell 3.12 servers. OI is installed on my local drive for this test. I create a new application called JUNK. I create a new file called JUNK, with 2 fields: KEY and TEXT. I create a form with the 2 fields, test and run it, and store some data in it. I go into the Revelation Reporter and build a new report, using the Quick Report options, drop the 2 fields on the form, test it and it works. I add a menu item to my JUNK form, specify a quick event to execute the JUNK report, test it and it works.
NOW: time to deploy the application. I create a new deployment definition called JUNK. I choose Full System for the deployment type. I choose to deploy the JUNK file (not empty). I specify a new directory on my local drive, and the deployment completes successfully. I exit the development copy, and start the runtime copy. The form runs, the data is there, but the report does not run.
Upon inspecting the output in the OpenEngine window, I see the following when the above report is run from the development copy:
RUN RW_PROCESS 'FIELDSECURITY', #1, #2
RUN RW_PROCESS 'TABLESECURITY', #1
RUN RW_PROCESS 'LOAD', #1, #2, #3
RUN RW_PROCESS 'ISEXTERNAL', #1
RUN RUN_EVENT 'JUNK*OIWIN','JUNK.KEY','EDITFIELD','LOSTFOCUS*2*JUNK*LOSTFOCUS..OIWIN*','0',''
RUN RUN_EVENT 'JUNK*OIWIN','JUNK.MENU.REPORT.JUNK_REPORT','MENU','MENU'
When the same is run from the runtime copy, the last 2 lines are shown, but none of the RW_PROCESS lines.
Is this significant?
As soon as I get this resolved, I can start letting the users in our company use OI3.5.
Thanks

In researching why I couldn't run ANY reports from the runtime deployment on our network (oi3.5), I tried a complete system deployment from a local development system on a PC running windows 3.11 to a runtime area on the same local PC. When I ran the runtime application, it complained that it couldn't find IMAGEMAN.DLL. So I manually copied it from the development directory to the runtime directory, and now my reports work from the runtime. The same thing fixed our network deployment as well. Funny that win95 doesn't complain about the missing dll, it just won't run any reports. Any comments?
