Hi David,

this one might be of interest to other listers, too!
So please join in again ;-)

3

3

But now the puzzling part:

This is in fld 1 (the result of your script)

line1
line2
line3
...an empty line 4!!!

Now, if i:
"set the yadda of this cd to fld 1"

i have a customproperty "yadda" with
4 (FOUR) lines and the last one is empty, just like the field...

But if i:
"set the customkeys of this cd to fld 1"

i will end with 3 "THREE" customkeys and NOT with an empty one as I 
really exspected!!!

This is, in fact, a bit disturbing, to say at least, since our whole 
discussion was about
a missing/NOT missing trailing CR...???

Molto misterioso! ;-)

Another test in that field, now set to listbehaviour!

I can select the empty line 4!

put the num of lines of fld 1 -> 3

DRUMM ROLLLLLLLLL:

delete line 4 of fld 1

Now i cannot select the empty line 4 anymore, since it is GONE!!!???

Can anyone please give a clue about this inconsistency (is it?)
