you're not doing *anything* wrong - this is the (admitedly strange) way
that a multi-line edit control is *supposed* to work!

If you're using Windows 3.1 and you want the <Enter> key to start a new
line in the edit control, you can give the control the ES_WANTRETURN
style.  If you're using Windows 3.0, you have to subclass the control.

Best wishes,

Chris
