This may be a case where the built-in control is a little too smart...

I want to display raw data in an EditField, and sometimes that data might contain a CR/LF combination. Unfortunately, in those cases, RB replaces that combo with just a single CR (on a Mac), so this is what I did: I split the string by LF, then used fld.AppendText to enter the string in chunks, each
followed by a LF until the last chunk. Was there an easier way?

The ReplaceLineEndings Function?
