Does anyone out there know how to trap the return-key when the user hits
the RETURN key in a field ???
 
I know that there is no message sent to the field script if the field
property is not set to lock text. If I want to treat each line on the
scrolled field as individual line, I need to limit the number of characters
in each line and prohibit the entry of a RETURN key.
 
Thanks in advance.
