The idea that occured to me was to use an edit box and stuff the message text along with a carriage return and line feed into the value ... Works fine as far as it goes, but the text scrolls off of the visible "window" and doesn't move. During the process the user doesn't have control and can't move the scroll bar themselves. What needs to happen is the last row of text in the edit needs to be visible at all times.

To keep the editbox scrolled to the nd of its contents...

THISFORM.Edit1.SelStart = LEN(THISFORM.Edit1.Value)
THISFORM.Edit1.Refresh()
