But where does it say that lines in the > TextEdit record are terminated in carriage returns? IM I-375: "Normally ... the text automatically wraps around ... . A new line also begins where explicitly specified by a Return character in the text." (See also I-378, last para.) That is, "normally" there are no terminators at the end of each line; this would be the case for, e.g., most dialog box static text items -- TextEdit takes care of formatting the text with respect to lines, and calculates the contents of the lineStarts array based on the width of the destination rectangle. For line-oriented text, e.g., most program source code, there would be a CR at the end of each line of text. > Where does it say whether the LineStarts are 0- or 1-based? IM I-377: "lineStarts: ARRAY[0..16000] OF INTEGER" (see also I-379, last para.) -- brecher@well.UUCP (Steve Brecher)
