  • Subject: Re: text entry widget?

CNTFLD doesn't quite do what I want - at least I don't know how to make it
do what I want.  Suppose the text the user is editing is longer than what
the screen allows?  Say my CNTFLD is 300 chars long and the text the user
edits is 750 chars.  So I display the first 300 chars in the CNTFLD.  If
the user presses the delete key I want the 301 char of text to move onto
the screen - in other words (IOW?) I need to handle off-screen data.
