I'm using VB6 on an American English Windows me platform and cannot set the
textbox RightToLeft property to true. I'm offered the option, but when I
select True, it always sets the property to False.

What am I missing?

It only works if your system is running as Arabic or Hebrew (etc)

That is a bit confusing as you probably know that Textboxes can be
sort of 'right to left'

Set a Textbox's  Alignment to RightJustify   and  make sure that your
Textbox's  Multiline = True   and you'll get roughly what you want.
