Great response! Thanks so much...

>>I would like to be able to write some notes regarding a form that imports data. Specifically I would like to create a 'zreadme' method and be able to display the contents of the zreadme method if a user clicks on a 'Help' button. The zreadme method would have the details surrounded by TEXT ... ENDTEXT. I do not want to create a seperate table with a memo field to show the help notes.
