I have encountered an interesting problem while working with memo fields :

	When I use REPLACE WITH ... ADDITIVE on a memo field, and specify
a string that starts with a CHR(13), dBASE adds the string but does not
start a new line. If, however, I go to edit the record and go into to the
memo field using Ctrl-Home, the field adjusts itself appropriately - line
separation and all - without having to press a single key. I just have
to exit, and everything is fine. 

	Now, is there any way to get dBASE to perform this adjustment 
without having to edit the field ? 

I am working with dBASE IV Ver 1.0
