Not very smart? Hm. This would be just my solution.

Just do it the other way round. If txt$ contains the text:

space(30 - len(txt$)) & txt$

or better (if umlauts are contained)

space(30 - string.len(txt$)) & txt$


That should do it... at least if you use Courier. For proportional 
fonts, you will want to use a drawing space like Printer or DrawingArea 
and work with measures of text lengths etc. That's quite another world, 
though it's basically the same way of grouping the columns.
