Problem with display of GET embedded MEMOEDIT

I am using Nick Hammond's GET object for embedding MEMOEDIT into READ
loops (from The Oasis). Very nice device, thanks! Only problem: with
initial display of the text variable holding the text to edit, the READ
does not yet know the coordinates passed to the GET object. So it
prints the current content of the text variable to the screen, all the
way to the right end of the screen. As soon as the loop reaches the
MEMOEDIT, the text is redisplayed and formatted correctly, obeying the
coordinates and using the soft carriage returns instead of displaying
special characters.

Is there a way of suppressing the initial display or making it format
correctly? I appreciate any suggestions - it does look rather ugly.

DispBegin()/DispEnd() around the relavent code may work.

If not then show us some code.
