MLE question revisited

Regarding the long, involved dilemma I was facing earlier in the week; =
creating the MLE with ES_READONLY (#00000800) in the style field works =
beautifully.  I can scroll the read only mle without losing focus in the =
read/write MLE, and I (of course) cannot modify anything in the read only =
box.  One problem fixed.

Regarding the changing of colors (background & foreground), I uncommented =
the traps David mentioned in the message handling section of Win32Lib.  =
Result -- just like the comment next to them says, they don't work.  It's =
not an urgent problem for me, so I'll let another brave soul figure out =
why not.

Now for my question -- I figured out why setText(mle3,"") leaves a blank =
line in the mle.  mle3 is the read/write box and I process the data in the =
box by trapping VK_RETURN in an OnKeyPress routine.  Part of the routine =
is to clear the mle.  But when the routine completes, the trapped Return =
is passed along to the mle to be written.  How do I get rid of the trapped =
Return so it isn't passed along?
