   In VB's IDE, click on Project/Components on the menu bar. Scroll down   
   the list and click on the CheckBox labeled "Microsoft Rich Textbox   
   Control", then click OK. That will add the RichTextBox to your toolbox.   
   As for how to use it... well, it is full-bodied control with lots of   
   properties, methods and events. Your best bet is to highlight the   
   control after it is placed on your form and press F1 to bring up the   
   help file for it. Then, start reading. Also, when the help files are   
   displayed, click on the Search tab, type in "richtextbox" (without the   
   quote marks) into the search field and click the "List Topics" button.   
   At minimum, read the item labeled "Using the Rich TextBox Control".
