I would like to have instructions in the textarea, when someone attempts to add a
record. I'm assuming that it would go in
the default.cfg, but I have about to lines
worth of instructions. Is that the correct
way to do it???

Yep. Put the text in the .cfg file. Go to the field you want the text to go into and insert it into where the "default value" goes -- the next to the last '' in the field definition.

A couple of hints. If you want your text to appear on more than one line in the text field, use \n where you want the line break to be. You can put the whole text on one line in the .cfg file, though. (In fact, I would suggest that you do.)

Also, I would suggest when you make your text area in html_record_form, you include the tag WRAP="VIRTUAL".
