- If you want to print memo fields use a command like "?? Variable_name FUNCTION "V70" AT
- Number" where Variable_name is the name of your memo field, V70 restricts the output
- to 70 characters per line vertically and AT number means where the output starts. But
- this is for .FRG files. If you want to enter data into a memo field, use the following:
- "@ GET Variable_name". To enter data, press CTRL+Home.

- Hope that helps,
