I have created an entry form that has many
description sections. Each section is made up of fifteen 75 character
fields. Having the description consist of 15 individual fields
limits the ability of the user to modify a description since there
there is no word wrap, etc... I'd like to be able to open an edit
session, allow the user to type away and when they are finished, load
a predefined number of the lines from the document into the entry form.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can accomplish this? Opening the edit
session is not a problem but loading the text of the document into the
entry form fields has me stumped.
Thanks,
Kristen

Take a look at the old SES system. In its LOG subsystem there is
a problem log, which has two scrolled regions of text entry with
editor option. THat may actually be a harder method than you need
though it is fancy!
On the other hand, once you leave the editor you can use the TEXT_FILE
functions, or the NEXT_LIST function to step thought the text file.
Then GET fieldx=symbol will load the field just fine.
