Hi, One way of doing it (which is a little dodgey) is to create your own ADM file which does the registry hack for you. You still can't type in the <cr><lf> but you can create a default entry with the required <cr><lf> in place (see beleow). Seems to work OK. You can still edit the text in the field, you just can't add additional texts
