AW: which field property to set for 'scrolling'?

[Eric Chatonet]

Hello Tiemo,

I'm very sorry because I modified the code in my email client and of  
course made an error:
You should read:

on keyDown
   if the selectedField <> empty then
     if AllowInput() then --
       pass keyDown --
     end if
   else pass keyDown
end keyDown

Not that this process will not prevent the user to paste any long  
string ;-)
