BITS AND BOBS NECESSARY TO FACILITATE THE PLACING OF THE RTF TAGS OF A RICHEDIT
COMPONENT INTO A STREAM...
strangely enough, this code puts ONLY the RTF tags into the stream, but NONE of
the text at all (weird!). However, if one does wish to put RTF tags + text into
a stream (or PChar or some other buffer-type varaible) then then one way of
doing this is to save the RichText text to file in RTF format and then read that
file into the stream or other variable.
For another method of putting text + tags into a stream check out the HTML 'help'
file somehwere called something like RichTextFormat...

to facilitate the writing of RichEdit text to a stream (see SaveToStream
procedure) as without this inclusion, the compiler will not recognise the
