I'm almost afraid to say this but itlooks like this is pretty easy to do with variable spaced fonts too.I did a simple test with an input field, an output scrolling list field, and a button with the following code: on mouseUp put the hilitedLine of field "Output" into tLine put the formattedwidth of field "Input" into tWidthIn put 100 into tWidthOut subtract tWidthIn from tWidthOut set the tabstops of line tline of field "Output" to tWidthOut & comma & 100 put tab & field "Input"& tab & tLine into line tLine of field "Output" end mouseUp The text in the input field ended up right justified in the the hilited line of the scrolling list field. I'll no doubt have to deal with some corner cases but I think I have right justified columns in my scrolling list field. Very cool!
That's pretty cool. I hadn't thought to use the new paragraph features but I like it. They are coming in handy for all sorts of things.
