Hi John, If my memory isn't playing tricks on me, the WASTE engine is a Mac-specific technology - I think WASTE is used by SuperCard, which is only available for Mac. Revolution uses its own cross-platform library for handling field display. And that's something we can't just hack into with externals. It has its limitations (no paragraph-level formatting, only basic table support, single alignment,...) but it has plenty of features if you're not looking to build a competitor for MS Word ;-) Best regards, Jan Schenkel.
