Re: text entry widget?

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Performance was/is wonderful.  I didn't notice any delay whatsoever.

I seem to recall it would not work the other way around though.
Remember, this way the program doesn't have to look at each
keystroke, but only when you exit the field.  So, block mode still
works, and no performance hit.

Regards,

Jim Langston
