Don't create trim - create *fields* with blank titles, data type character 
and length of the trim, which are display only.  

When the form is displayed in your ESQL/C put the text of the trim into those
fields so that they look like trim on the form.  Then put a field activation on 
the first "trim" field which uses the set_frs command to change the display
of the second "trim" field to reverse video.

This is my opinion, and doesn't necessarily reflect the opinion of the SEI.
