Hi Bob,

When you when setting strings to equal a variable or combination of

strings (an expression), you must change the ABC (String Literal) button

to = for Expression.


Note, there are no parentheses around the right side variables:

Set Variable: "ScrollText" = Text1 & chr(13) & chr(13) &  Text2


This is covered in the Variables 1 tutorial, but I also added this

comment to this tutorial.
