Bob,

Not surprisingly, I'm confused.  In the short test I made, it was so much
easier to get text to be cleanly overwritten, I never tried to get it to do
otherwise (ie, make more than one line, although I would like to see an
example of doing that).

Writing text to a label with setText seems to automatically overwrite, as
far as I can see, even when the second text written is "".  Could you
provide a short example of how you are writing a lot of text to a label in
the first place, that might help in seeing how to erase it &/or put new
text.
