+  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.
