Hello,

A couple of thoughts to share...

(1) You can specify the VALUE of the text widget as an array - the array
should appear on screen with one line per array element.

(2) If you want to append text string(s) to the the text already shown
you can use the APPEND keyword when using WIDGET_CONTROL to set the
VALUE. I use this in some applications with a scrolling text widget to
show a save-able output log.

Cheers,
Ben
