What I want is for the text to # simply appear, as it would if I inserted one line of text in a one line # field (or two lines in a two line field). I've tried things like # FrmHideObject/FrmShowObject but so far haven't hit on a combination of # actions which gives me the visual effect I want. Do a FldEraseField and [your stuff] and FldDrawField job. Works perfectly for me. I do it in pedit many times.
