Re: Adding String functions?

Dude...

I would *love* to be able to do that... not because I have any use for it
whatsoever, but just because it would be cool.  If I can't get the code,
could you either post a screen shot here or mail it to me?

Fellow geeks:

Indeed. And some months back, I needed something like a titled border
that had the title running up the left side instead of across the top. I
won't say "VerticallyTitledBorder" was simple or trivial (or I'd talk
the boss into letting me give away the source for it), but it was a
reasonable exercise (even for one like me who's more comfortable working
in MI than in Java).
