Hi John,

I believe it is still better to use CRLF when you fill the Editbox.Value programmatically. It will be more consistent with other places in the app where you can use CRLF for, say to form variable for STRTOFILE(). In this case you have it in one place instead of adding CR only and rely on AddLineFeeds setting.
I think the main purpose of AddLineFeeds is in interactive adding text to the editbox.
