If you use @cr() in a string and then put the string in a multi-line
edit control, it will NOT use the @cr() to make a new line.

However, you can use @chr(13)@chr(10) for a new line, and
put these in a var if ya want... Wink
Code:

TITLE By Mac
DIALOG CREATE,"Test Program",-1,0,300,200
  DIALOG ADD,EDIT,E1,5,5,290,190,,,MULTI
DIALOG SHOW
%%cr = @chr(13)@chr(10)

%s = "This is line 1"%%cr"This is line 2"%%cr"This is line 3"
DIALOG SET, E1, %s

:EVLOOP
  WAIT EVENT
  goto @event()

:CLOSE
  EXIT

Cheers, Mac Smile

I always got around the problem by using a list as a filter.

Code:

DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,240,160
  DIALOG ADD,LIST,LIST1,24,34,180,144
  DIALOG ADD,EDIT,EDIT1,57,14,180,88,EDIT1,,MULTI
  DIALOG SHOW
  %%string = I@cr()like@cr()beans
  dialog set,list1,%%string
  dialog set,edit1,@text(list1)
:evloop
wait event
exit

Brandon, you way is a good way to handle large text files, but if you only have to do it a few times, Mac's way is better.

BTW. Here is something to load large texts...

Code:

list create,1

list loadtext,1
"This way you can load a large
"textfile without having to type
"LIST ADD again and again...

info @text(1)
