I think you are right. I can create a variable called mvalue and set the tooltip of a control on a form to display mvalue and setting the value of mvalue in the form's init like below works:
public mvalue
mvalue = ''
FOR i = 1 TO 10
store mvalue + 'Hello ' + ALLTRIM(STR(i)) + ' '+CHR(13) TO mvalue
ENDFOR
store mvalue + ' End of Variable Value.' TO mvalue
DODEFAULT()
However, if no matter the number of lines, if the overall text length exceeds what
would fit on one line then it doesn't display the tooltip text anylonger.

>>I've changed my default font and font size and I don't seem to be able to change the tooltip font. How do you do that? I thought that the tooltip could have up to 4095 characters in it so they should all show in the popup then if it was controlled by the tooltip settings then, right?
