Chris,

You may need to build a little routine that loops through the list and
builds the string... The RETURN constant can add line wrapping for you.

Quick untested lingo...

myList = ["one","two","three"]
repeat with x=1 to myList.count
        if voidP(myString) then
                myString = myList[x]
        else
                myString = myString + RETURN + myList[x] 
        end if
end repeat

member("myfield") = myString

HTH,
Mathew

Subject: <lingo-l> displaying text from list

Hi,
Is there any way to insert a RETURN or SPACE after each item in a linear
list? I am working on a questionaire with checkboxes that stores the
text in
a global list and after the user is finished with the questionaire I
want
them to be able to read the answers. So I've dumped the list into a
field
but there are no spaces between each item and the text is hard to read.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Chris Satory
