sentences as items

[Chris Sheffield]

You can do it one of two ways.  I am using .rtf files
and reading them in at run-time so that I have styled
text.  What I first did was use the command "set the
clipboardData["text"] to NumToChar(160)" in the Rev
Message Box.  Then I opened my text editor and pasted
where necessary.  It worked well.  But then I moved my
file to the Mac.  Because it's a higher ASCII
character, it didn't display right on the Mac.  So
what I ended up doing was putting some other lower
ASCII character like "~" (or anything that's not very
likely) in my files instead of the actual delimiter
character.  Then in my code I replaced that character
with NumToChar(160) on Windows and NumToChar(202) on
Mac after reading in the file.  I hope that all makes
sense.
