yeah that seems to be the consensus.. so maybe its something wrong with the parameters themselves im feeding to DmWriteCheck? its just that it works fine for form selections that fit onto the screen...no problem ever happens there! its only when the selection does not fit on the screen and runs off the side. in general, IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL THAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF THE SCREEN OF THE PALM...any speical character that is or isnt inserted to let the program know that there is more text if you scroll over or something/anything that could cause problem when we are trying to read the length of a selection that spans more than the screen width? im just fumbling in the dark/grasping at straws/taking a shot in the dark (whatever the expression is..) ;P
