The problem with that is there are about 40 different listings in the
one field.
Silver Small Corp;;;;;X^%%%%%\n#####\n
Gold Medium Corp;;;;;RE^%%%%%\n#####\n
Platinum Large Corp;;;;;YRE^%%%%%\n#####\n
being three of them so maybe this is a bettter way of listing it
... Silver Small Corp;;;;;X^%%%%%\n#####\nGold Medium
Corp;;;;;RE^%%%%%\n#####\nPlatinum Large Corp;;;;;YRE^%%%%%\n#####\n
...
