Use the multiline => 1 option.  I did a little testing with the code you 
gave, and for some reason, ES_MULTILINE doesn't work (nor did 4, the value 
of ES_MULTILINE).  Perhaps multiline is something that needs to be set a 
creation time, but I thought that the -addstyle option took effect at 
creation time, so I don't know what's going on there.  In any case, using 
the option above works for me.

I suggest adding the following line to your update sub:

$MainWindow->Results->InvalidateRect(0);

This will force Windows to redraw the RichEdit.  (I didn't test this on your 
code, but InvalidateRect has worked for me in the past.)  You may need to 
use $MainWindow->InvalidateRect(0) - I seem to recall some problem in the 
past with InvalidateRect on child controls.  (Of course, my memory could be 
faulty.)
