My application will be sending a considerable amount of text to a TEdit window. I am using TEdit to insure that the text will be nicely formatted regardless of the dimensions of the window, and that a certain amount of the text will be reviewable by scrolling. However, I would also like to have text clipped from the beginning of the stream, when the size of the stream becomes unnecessarily long. I have been able to do all this, but after deleting from the beginning my pointer is at the beginning and so is the focus of the window. I would like to have the window automatically scroll back to the end of the stream, but "intelligently" (i.e. displaying as much of the newly added text as possible. Even better, I would like to have the whole deleting routine take place invisibly...instead of scrolling to the beginning, underlining selection, deleting it, etc. Any and all suggestions appreciated. -Eric Cooper BBN Labs Cambridge, MA (617) 628-1824
