MODI COMM will give you scrollbars if Word Wrap is off. I'm not sure why your window comes up with Word Wrap on. Mine's not. Setting _WordWrap to .F. doesn't seem to affect this. Your preference is stored in the resource file, though. If you want to guarantee Word Wrap is off, and you always use the same file names, you can edit the files with Modi Comm, go to Edit|Properties, and make sure you uncheck Word Wrap. Then, you have to distribute that resource file with your app. If you only want it used when editing these files, just SET RESOURCE TO the file before you say MODI COMM, and rest to the old resource file right after.

>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.

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.
