you can loop the printf statement if needed.

something like:

Code:
for(i=1,i<=NF,i++)
  if(i == NF)
    printf("%s: $s\n\n",col[i],$i)
  else
    printf("%s: $s\n",col[i],$i)

Sorry, I dont have the time to test that out for you right now, but im sure someone else can whip it up or that may get you going.
