Attach this behavior to a text or field member. You will have to make sure the member is of the right size and such... I suppose I could add all that into a GPDL for you, but that'd be more work for me. ;-) Anyways, the key here is MAKE SURE TO CHOOSE A MONOSPACED FONT!!!!! If you don't know what I'm talking about then Google it.
