Help!
I was wondering if I can take a file, read it in, assign it to a
variable, make all "\n"'s
to &10& so that Windows can interpret it properly, and if (you) can show
me the routine to add to the already there WINDOW.EXW.
Plus, does WINDOW.EXW already support scrollbars?
Thanx!

You might want to take a look at Win32Lib. One of the included demos is
GENERIC.EXW, a small text editor. It reads and writes text files (limited to
32K), and uses an MLE (Multi-Line Edit) with scroll bars.

Is there some way to edit it beyond the 32k limit?

Pete has written an editor that uses the Rich Text control. It's one of the
common controls. As far as I l know, there is no limit to the amount of text
that can go into one of those controls. Just take a look at Pete's editor on
the Euphoria Web page. Win32Lib will eventually support those controls, but
it's on hold while I work on getting the next demo of WinMan out (real soon
now, I hope).
The other way around it is to write your own edit control - another
"someday" goal for Win32Lib, for supporting syntax coloring and the like.
