RE: EDITOR w/Word Wrap WITHIN 4GL EXECUTABLE

Thanks for you response, sorry I wasn't very clear in my first posting. What I'm looking for is an editor WITHIN A 4GL PROGRAM -- not one for editing 4GL source code. The editor absolutely must be linked into the 4GL executable. The purpose of this editor is to edit notes, messages, email, etc. from the database, while still allowing control keys to directly access other features of the program. All I really need are simple editing features such as in the Windows Notepad.exe program.
