IMHO, it should be in a WLF trigger, with a system function to allow you
to dynamically change the presentation of any given field by setting
the attributes:

@wlfat:::
:at lt "0":@FP("at") = "\r":

Or whatever syntax seems good.  Obviously, this has to be a function,
not a system array as was my first snap reaction, because it has to be
able to do things like correctly dereference @FD in associated field
WLF's.
