Updated docs for Fl_Multiline_XXX to reference 'new' Fl_Text_XXXX
widgets which have scrollbars and per-character color controls. This solves part of STR #2226 (item submitted 02:26 Jul 24, 2009). git-svn-id: file:///fltk/svn/fltk/branches/branch-1.3@6889 ea41ed52-d2ee-0310-a9c1-e6b18d33e121

This input field displays '\n' characters as new lines rather than ^J,
and accepts the Return, Tab, and up and down arrow keys. This is for
editing multiline text.
- <P>This is far from the nirvana of text editors, and is probably only
- good for small bits of text, 10 lines at most. I think FLTK can be
- used to write a powerful text editor, but it is not going to be a
- built-in feature. Powerful text editors in a toolkit are a big source
- of bloat.
