dim rtftext as C
tbl = table.open("a_alphasports_help")
tbl.fetch_first()
rtftext = *bin_to_rtf(tbl.notes)
? rtftext
= {\rtf1\ansi \deff0{\colortbl;\red0\green0\blue0;\red0\green128\blue0;}{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss Tahoma;}{\f1\fnil Verdana;}}{{\b \f1 \cf1 \fs28 Payment Method\par }{\f1 \cf1 \fs20 \par The PAY_METHOD field provides the user with a list of acceptable payment methods.
