You can use \t in the GPRINT to align.

The important thing to remember is to include your format string in quotes, so that you can manually add extra space where necessary. For example if you wanted to spell out the word "Average" instead of "Avg", you would need to change the "Max:" to be "Max :" instead, etc. Good luck!
