I remember reading that comment from Jeff and never understood it because I've never had that problem and I've had the Forte for years. To answer your question, highlight a track and either hit F2 or the "Event List" icon. That pulls up the event list, click Insert>controller>program change and put in the program number which is the GM patch number.

My confusion with this is virtually every midi file I have already has PC's in it and if it's a Biab song that was saved as a midi file, those have the PC's as well. I don't know how you would happen to have a file without them. Just remembered something, I do have some files that don't have PC's embedded in the event list but they do have a GM patch selected in the track properties which should be the same thing. I have never seen a midi file with no PC's in the event list and no instruments selected in the tracks. What kind of midi file is that? It's a nothing file I guess.
