For the folks that we paying attention to the discussion about how to
position the scroll to a particular line in a field, this might be of
interest to you. I think I cracked the nut on how to figure out the
scroll position for any character within a field. This includes getting
the scroll for a character in a wrapped line. It also addresses
spacebefore, spaceafter, firstindent, leftindent and rightIndent. I
have done a fair amount of testing trying to catch the corner cases, but
if you do find any issues please let me know. This was done with LC 6.6.4.

Release 12
* Added __positionCharInFld, adjusts the scroll of a field to have
the designated character be at the top,
center or bottom of the field.
* Added __SoftLineBreaks, returns information about how the text
within a field has been soft wrapped.
Both of these functions were a bit challenging, please let me know if
you discover any issues.
* Added __DummyTextData, this generates data to go into a field with
all of the different sizing
conditions. This generated the data that I used to test the
functions above.
