Author Set focus to bottom of a text control

Hi All,

I have run into a problem that I have no idea of how to even look up in the help.

I have a text box on a screen. As I process a file, I would like the certain data from the file to be appended to the end of the
text box & scroll the incoming data.


TIA . . .

Hi All,

Sorry for being such a pest, but this problem is all that I have left to solve for this phase of the project (ie. when submitted
will be paid for the next phase to be started.

What I am trying to do is read a file, manipulate the data than write it to a memo field in a different table. I can do the
append to the memo field with no difficulty. The problem is the client wants to see the appends as they happen. That means that
the memo should always be displaying its last line. So I need a way to tell the field when it has focus (using select(?Dialog))
to go to the end of the field.

Any and all ideas welcome. I am so desperate, that I am accepting guesses. The problem I am having is that I don't know how to
articulate to the help system what it is I am trying to accomplish. I am hoping your ideas will help me to find in the help what
I need to do.

BTW, I am using 5.5ee with ABC templates.

Ciao . . . C.Joseph
