Could anybody tell me if it is possible to have an textbox format

No. (It's easy enough to draw text that way, but the EditField works
with the more common horizontal format.)
the way Japanese text is supposed to be displayed?
That's an exaggeration. Japanese text can be written in both formats
(left-to-right starting at top, or top-to-bottom starting on right).
In my experience the horizontal format is more common for printed
text, and certainly more common on computers. Our Japanese
distributors and users have never complained about it.
Unicode allows my Japanese fonts to display with no problem, but
it's not very useful if it can't be displayed vertically. I hope
somebody can help me because this will determine whether I shell out
for a copy of RealBasic.
If you don't, I'd be interested to hear what you buy instead.
REALbasic's support for Japanese is far better than any other
development environment I know of.
