<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">A newbie question:<BR>
<BR>
I want to wrap some single line text in a text box and not use a<BR>
horizontal scroll bar. I have an algorithm that works.<BR>
<BR>
But it is horribly inefficient and I'm sure there must be a better way!<BR>
Can you X-talk gurus help me out with this one?<BR>
<BR>
if (the length of this_line > 80) then<BR>
repeat with i = 1 to the length of this_line<BR>
put char i of this_line after field "contents"<BR>
if (i mod 80 = 0) then put return after field "contents"<BR>
end repeat<BR>
end if<BR>
<BR>
Mahalo!</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
<BR>
Just set the dontWrap of the field to "true".<BR>
