Friendly Text handling in SQL*Forms 3.0

  I am in search of an advanced algorithm for handling paragraphs of
text in Forms 3.0.   I have developed a method for fetching and wordwrapping
 a 2000 character string into a multi-record block, allowing 
the user to modify it, and then updating the database.



  My problem is that forms 3.0 does not have a friendly input/update 
method for multiple lines of text.  I have used userexits to dump the 
text to a file and then edit it using any unix editor.  But I would like
to keep it in forms.



  I am aware of forms 4.0's capabilities, but many companies that I
deal with are not ready to upgrade.



 Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
