Version 13 is available with the issue causing me to pull 12 is
resolved. I also added another function that was created to help me do
additional validation of the other positioning routines. I think this
may be useful in general.
Enjoy...

Release 13
* fixed a bug in __DummyTextData that was not allowing spaceabove and
below to be inserted properly
* fixed of bug in the __positionCharInFld that was masked by the not
testing all conditions.
* Added __LineRanges fuction, This routine returns data for each
visable line within a requested
field. startchar, endchar, height, wrap-position, spaceabove,
spacebelow.
Figuring out what fits and questions about boundary conditions are quite
confusing. If the field positioning routines are not working for you.
Please let me know, and I will share the test stack I used to try my
best to understand these issues.

I just pulled this back for more testing. I found a bug in the data
generator that was not inserting the spaceabove and below properly...
I deserves more testing.
Sorry folks. A bit red faced here.

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.
