The 2nd method of allowing direct entry is working to as long as the user

doesn't press the enter key to add a new line. It preserves my tag info,

but only the last line is returned in GetItemText. I'm trying to figure out

how to get the rest of the cell contents. I think I can just iterate thru

the cell's items.
