Hello Kurt,
I've been absent from my office for a week, so I couldn't thank you for your
answer earlier. Nor did I have the time to workt with your suggestions. But
anyway, thank you very much, your answer seems to be very helpful!

Sure you can. Use the mouseline if it's a vertical layout, or drop in a
seperator (like a bullet) for a horizontal layout and make it the the
itemDelimiter. You will still probably want to adjust the width of the main
text box to make it pretty, in which case, you set the text member's rect to
a pretty wide rect, then use charPosToLoc(member "textmember", the number of
chars in member("textmember").text).locH to calculate the width you want.
Note that margins and kerning will throw things off a bit.
