Inserting new lines in a Scrolling List Field programatically

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Scott,

Rev provides many ways to achieve this.
Have a look at all these prepositions: into, after, before.
Combine with line, field, char, etc.
Use carriage returns too :-)

For instance to add a new line at the current end of a field:

put cr & "29/01/2006" && Tab && "Full Shed" && Tab && "12"  && Tab &&  
"FullShed" after fld "fldShed"
But you could write also:
put "29/01/2006" && Tab && "Full Shed" && Tab && "12"  && Tab &&  
"FullShed" into line (the number of lines of fld "fldShed" + 1) of  
fld "fldShed"
Just for understanding ;-)
