- I just finished a program that will administer surveys (among other
- things) online. But now we want to add free-response questions.
-
- I *could* just do WHILE (LINE[I]<>'') DO BEGIN INC(I); READLN(LINE[I]); END;
-
- But I want this to be friendly etc and I want the user to be able to
- erase and insert etc even if it was on a previous line.
-
- It would be nice to have words "wrap" nicely onto the next line, too.
-
- It seems this would be present in any text editor, does anyone have a bit
- of code to do this?
-
- Thanks.
