List Words from Textarea

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the info. If this be the case, LC is really screwing around with things that could break MANY applications. I think I'll stay away from LC if this is an example of what is now being done to REV. Who is the crazy loon who decided to do this? VERY un-HyperTalkish!!!!!
