Re: text entry widget?

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've seen one package, KeyesMail, that did a nice text editor with word
wrap.  I talked to the programmer about it and he said it wasn't too difficult,
although he wouldn't give me the details.  Trade secrets and all.

What I think he did was just have 80 column fields (arrays) that auto advanced,
so when you entered a character into the last position, it returned to the 
program.
The program then went to the field and grabed the last word, if the last 
character
was not a space, and moved it down to the next field, deleting it from the field
just entered.

Pretty nifty in operations though.

Regards,
