I only imagine (sorry for my english), when I set something that sometimes I 
must read what I set. For me T: text is like object, which I pass to function,
this function maybe need to know, how Lineending is set (I think about special 
or internal function). Its not correct pass to this function LineEnding 
separately. I think that every kind of information about T:text should be set 
and get through function/procedures not direct from fields of record.

I can't now give an exact program, but this kind of function don't make any 
disorder or other bad things.
