Identifying displayed text of underlying Memo-text

To distinguish displayed Memo-text from standard true string-field texts, it may be desirable to ad som discrete leading marker of choice to signify the nature of the underlying Memo-text as e.g.:

MemoAsTxtMarker

vs.

MemoAsTxt

In the example above, the character #0183 ("·") has been chosen as the Memo prefix marker.
This leading character is specified in the INI-file, and can be any character or short string of characters or glyphs.

Auto-refresh

Selecting/deselecting this feature, for most cases will auto-refresh the display to reflect your selection.
However, this is not the case, if the underlying SQL includes datamodifying procedures, as an auto-refresh would also re-execute these data modifying commands - see also SQL Execution.
