filter field "whatever" with "*?"
I have a permanent problem with adding lines to a field. Do I need to add a linefeed before the new line? If I add a linefeed after each line (as I used to do in HyperCard) then list fields have an empty selectable line at at the end. What if the field is empty? and so on...
Now I just add linefeeds whenever they might be needed and finish by doing the filter command. It is very ast and strips out all empty lines.

Is there a simple way to delete lines in a list, such that a blank line does not remain afterwards and not throw the scroll of the field back to zero?
put empty into line 11 of fld "inputList" ## leaves a blank empty line
put the clicktext & cr after fld "outputList"
delete the clickline ## leaves a blank line
Context: User is working on a mailing list... either deleting entries or moving entries to another field.. .in both cases we want the line that is clicked on to disappear and not leave a blank line in its place. If one runs a "replace (cr & cr) with cr in fld "inputList" the scroll is set to zero
put the scroll of fld "inputList" into tPosition
replace (cr & cr) with cr in fld "inputList
set the scroll of fld "inputList" to tPosition
does work... but I was wondering if there is a way which would leave the scroll of the field untouched in the first place.
Thanks
