When I use the WINDOW command or IN WINDOW, I still don't get the horizontal scroll bars, as a matter of fact, in some cases I don't get any scrollbars. What am I missing?
Just to recap, I need to view the created ascii files (one comma delimited, one basically a report printout from another app) as they are created including the specific linefeeds. Ideally, if I was to open the file in say, notepad, that is how I want it to look in here. This will be used for troubleshooting.
Thanks again

On my final page, I want to provide a button that will allow the user to "view" either of these ascii text files. The file might be wider than the screen so therefore I want a horizontal scroll bar as well. Neither file will be edited using this, just viewed.
