Well, I used EGW_EDIT because I was under the impression an EGW_STATIC
could not be multiline. However, I've come to uderstand I was wrong. I
probably thought that because the IDE doesn't support setting that style
for a static cell.

Well, using EGW_STATIC makes the EGW_COL_EDITABLE/EGW_COL_DISABLED issue
a non-issue.

Tbanks! I would greatly appreciate that! I'm doing a small demo program
to show a client we can replace their character based interface with a
Windows interface without changing anything on the host system. I
certainly would not be able to pull this off without EuGrid!
