RE: Message text formatting

["M. Lazarus" <mlazarus@xxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

 If you do a DSPMSG, and get to the 2nd level text, you'll see that it's 
formatted nicely, w/ paragraphs, indents, etc.  This is accomplished by the 
system via those embedded codes.  I would like to duplicate that 
functionality when I display a msg through a regular field in my program.
