Renior,
That variable only controls the MODI COMM and MODI FILE windows.
If you are using a VFP Editbox control on your form for a memo field, there is no way to prevent it from wrapping text to fit the area.
>I thought this was odd: the system word wrap option under Edit/Properties is unchecked and disabled. When I'm coding that's great, but I think that it's keeping my editboxes from displaying more than one line of text. Is there another setting that I need to refer to?
