Mark,
Not sure if this is the kind of thing you mean, but:
1st set up a "Load" notification event for your parent
form (just double-click on the form, or do it manually
under events).
2nd, under the code for the "Load" method add the text in
the form that you want. This is an example of text that
I used copied from one of my programs (so ignore what it
says & just look at the spacing). I gave you two
different ways to enter text. I have the text
box's 'WordWrap' set to 'True' & 'ScrollBars' set
to 'vertical'. Hopefully this is the kind of thing your
were after.
======== BEGIN code #1 in "Load" method =======
this.textBox1.Clear();
this.textBox1.Text = @"After choosing a general 'System
of Units', then choose 'Custom' to change units
individually.
SI - International Standard for Metric Units.

I'm still looking for a way to adjust the vertical
location of the text in a TextBox without overriding the
OnPaint. Any ideas?
