How do you recommend controlling a text box for continuing notes?

I created a layout element called BasicNotes
I then put that field on a tab. I made it rather large.

When I tried entering data, I was expecting that the text would wrap when I got to the edge of the element box but it actually keeps going on the same line (silly me this is not Q&A for windows) So I looked in my handy dandy Sesame Manuals and I came up with the @fedit command.

I created a command button and tried having that take me to the basic notes field and then open up the field editor box.

Goto basicnotes

     
     @fedit

This did not work so I thought I would try something like the example on page 87 of  the programming guide and this did not work for me either.

Var vbasn as char

Goto basicnotes
Vbasn = "y"
     
     if vbasn = "y"  then
{
            @fedit
}

I have no problem getting the @fedit box to open but even when I save to element and exit my data is not visible.

Thoughts ????

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. 

It is great having a toolbox full of great features in Sesame.(The good part)

It just takes some time for some of us to learn and remember all the fine details on how to use them.  (the bad part)
