set the text of line 4 of field id 123?

[David Bovill]

OK - filed as an enhancement request.  Vote for it
here<http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=7590>- if you
feel the same!

I guess I could use set the htmltext of line 1 of field even if using plain
text - but I think it is just plain counter intuitive as it is - good to see
the docs are explicit though :)

Bill - you don't know where to download beta's do you? I'd like to install
dp1 due to the value() bug in dp2 - and while I'm at it maybe check what
happened to my enterprise mailing list subscription?
