The FB engine probably isn't recognizing the fact that you've just used the
toolbox to append text to the field. After you append a piece of a text make
sure you SETSELECT 32767,32767 and then TEKEY$=" " or something like that so
FBII will get it's act together. If you want, immediately after adding that
space with TEKEY$, you can delete it with TEKEY$=CHR$(8).

(I think that's how it's done, but I'm not sure because I haven't programmed
in months- I'm a writer now. =D Thought about doing a text adventure, but oh
well.... sooner or later I'll start programming again.)

I hope that helps,
