     I have not gotten into .Net.  One at a time.

     What I am going to put on top of this is an insert/update trigger
to clean up strings.  Can I call .Net code from within a trigger?

     Well, that could make things interesting in a cross-platform
situation.

     SSMS does not display the multi-line values as such.  There is
space between the lines as in:
          LINE ONE line two
