Hi David,
>Another thought that came to me today, is that if you size the edt with the scrollbar turned on and then when you've got the height where you want it resize the width down by the sysmetric(5) at the same time you turn off the scrollbars and the text shouldn't reflow causing an empty space at the bottom.
I'll give this a try over the next few days ... although my confidence in depending on the editbox to consistently wordwrap as one might expect as been significantly shaken over the past few days.
I think I'm just pushing the poor editbox in a direction it was never intended to go.
