Hi Terry

Since lines in the text correspond to lines in the
htmlText in Revolution, it should be easy enough to
replace data inside the htmlText :
--
put the htmlText of field "foobar" into tHtmlText
replace (return & "<p></p>" & return & "<p></p>" & \
    return) with (return & "<p></p>" & return) in \
    tHtmlText
set the htmlText of field "foobar" to tHtmlText
--

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
