I posted this a couple weeks ago and have yet to receive a single response. 
Surely someone must know something about using TEdit.  Please don't be shy.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to use TEdit programmatically, but am finding it problematic.  
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.
