Quoth your code:

     <TD><INPUT TYPE=TEXT SIZE=32 NAME="comp" VALUE=$comp></TD>

The reason it is only displaying up to the first space is that you are not putting quotes around $comp (et al.) when you specify it as the VALUE. Thus, everything after the first space gets interpreted by the web browser as further properties of the <INPUT> tag (ie, it becomes: <TD><INPUT TYPE=TEXT SIZE=32 NAME="comp" VALUE=THIS IS THE RECORD></TD>, with IS, THE, and RECORD all being value-less properties to the tag, which are silently ignored). Put quotes around them and it should work.
