You can set the text of a RichTextBox control by simply doing:

VB

richtextbox1.Text =form1.textbox1.text

Or, you can use the AppendText method:

VB

richtextbox1.AppendText(form1.textbox1.text)

This is the kind of thing you can easily learn on your own if you use the Intellisense in Visual Studio. If you type RichTextBox1 and a dot "." then you get a list of all the properties and methods and should be able to see it pretty easily.
