Hey that works. Now I am starting to understand the role of the STYLE

component.

Ok now tell me if I use say

AddNLWTag

and sequentialy create a tag number so that each time a block of text is

added in tags it with a number, can I click on say a word out of a

particular block of text and get an event that returns that tag?

What I want to do is as before use a rich view to display a log. If say an

error occurs it comes up and displays it in red. The user can click anywhere

in that line or group of lines, it returns the tag value of say 10023 and my

program goes and finds the extra info stored elsewhere for event 10023. Hope

you can understand what I am asking?

Regards, Peter
