Thanks! That worked perfectly. I did see the InformationAlertID, but
wanted to get my solution working. It's supposed to be a general routine,
and so I don't know how much text will show up there. Because the
FldSetTextPtr takes a "char *" instead of a "const char *" I've got to copy
the text into a local buffer first, so I'm now limiting the size to 200.
Anyways thanks again.

FldInsert() only works on editable fields. For your situation, call
FldSetTextPtr() instead.
Also, I noticed your text field has scrollbars, so you're probably
displaying lots of text, but if your text would fit on a single screen
then you could use FrmCustomAlert():
ALERT ID InformationAlertID
DEFAULTBUTTON 0
WARNING
BEGIN
TITLE "Information"
MESSAGE "info: ^1"
BUTTONS "OK"
END
FrmCustomAlert(InformationAlertID, "This shows up where ^1 is in the
MESSAGE line.", NULL, NULL);

I'm trying to get a general purpose dialog to pop up showing text. It's
defined below. It will pop the form up, but I can't figure out why the
text I'm inserting isn't showing up. Can someone please look this over
and tell me where I'm going wrong?
Thanks,
