    Hi Jerome

    The script you have shared is using the WFM method.  It will download the entire text as one string - regardless of how many lines of text you have.

    If you want to do it by lines:

    (1) you could use query

    (2) you could record the actual long text, going into the line editor.
    then overtype something on as many lines as you need (72 character limit)

    If you want to update by line, then save, otherwise just exit.  Then you'll see something like this in the mapper
    It makes it harder to deal with long text by line, which is why there is the WFM method, but it does work.

    FYI
