Use AppendText to append text to the end of the text in the control. CharCount returns length of the text in the control.

A linefeed (LF) character can be added to text programmatically by adding ASCII character 10 to a string using the character function. A carriage return (CR) character can be added to text programmatically by adding ASCII character 13 to a string using the character function. Either a LF or CR character will break the current line in the control.
