The comma is valid after ?, but not in a textbox. Try

THISFORM.TEXT1.Value= "     "+SUBSTR(cName,i,1) + CHR(13)

NB! It's a good habit to never use a chr(13) alone, I suggest that you always use chr(13)+chr(10). A chr(13) alone will work fine on a screen, but if you add a chr(13) alone in a file, some editors will show the line before the chr(13) and the line after, on top of each other. Chr(10) will add a line feed, which is what you really want.
