Ah - finally! Never noticed text-pane before. (Which is most strange...) What I was
wanting to do was to have different colored lines of text. Can now...
view layout [
t: text-list "aaa" "bbb" "ccc"
button "Change" [
repeat line 3 [
face: t/text-pane t/iter line
insert face/text join line " "
face/font/color: pick reduce [red green blue] line
show face
]
]
]
Many thanks.
