+<P>This is the FLTK text input widget. It displays a single line of text
+and lets the user edit it. Normally it is drawn with an inset box and
+a white background. The text may contain any characters (even 0), and
+will correctly display anything, using ^X notation for unprintable
+control characters and \nnn notation for unprintable characters with
+the high bit set. It assumes the font can draw any characters in the
+ISO-8859-1 character set.

+sequence. The next one or two keys typed define the character to
+insert (see table that follows.)
+
+<p>For instance, to type "á" type [compose][a]['] or [compose]['][a].
+
+<P>The character "nbsp" (non-breaking space) is typed by using
+[compose][space].
+
+<P>The single-character sequences may be followed by a space if
+necessary to remove ambiguity. For instance, if you really want to
+type "ª~" rather than "ã" you must type [compose][a][space][~].
+
+<p>The same key may be used to "quote" control characters into the
+text. If you need a <tt>^Q</tt> character you can get one by typing
+[compose][Control+Q].
+
+<p>X may have a key on the keyboard
+defined as <tt>XK_Multi_key</tt>. If so this key may be used as well
+as the right-hand control key. You can set this up with the program
+<tt>xmodmap</tt>.
+
+<p>If your keyboard is set to support a foreign language you should
+also be able to type "dead key" prefix characters. On X you will
+actually be able to see what dead key you typed, and if you then move
+the cursor without completing the sequence the accent will remain
+inserted.

+<H4><A name=Fl_Input.Fl_Input>Fl_Input::Fl_Input(int x, int y, int w,
+int h, const char *label = 0)</A></H4>
+ Creates a new <TT>Fl_Input</TT> widget using the given position, size,
+and label string. The default boxtype is <TT>FL_DOWN_BOX</TT>.
+<H4><A name=Fl_Input.~Fl_Input>virtual Fl_Input::~Fl_Input()</A></H4>
+ Destroys the widget and any value associated with it.
+<H4><A name=Fl_Input.value>const char *Fl_Input::value() const
+<BR> int Fl_Input::value(const char*)
+<BR> int Fl_Input::value(const char*, int)</A></H4>
+ The first form returns the current value, which is a pointer to the
+internal buffer and is valid only until the next event is handled.
+<P>The second two forms change the text and set the mark and the point
+to the end of it. The string is copied to the internal buffer. Passing <TT>
+NULL</TT> is the same as &quot;&quot;. This returns non-zero if the new value is
+different than the current one. You can use the second version to
+directly set the length if you know it already or want to put nul's in
+the text. </P>
+<H4><A name=Fl_Input.static_value>int Fl_Input::static_value(const
+char*)
+<BR> int Fl_Input::static_value(const char*, int)</A></H4>
+ Change the text and set the mark and the point to the end of it. The
+string is <I>not</I> copied. If the user edits the string it is copied
+to the internal buffer then. This can save a great deal of time and
+memory if your program is rapidly changing the values of text fields,
+but this will only work if the passed string remains unchanged until
+either the <TT>Fl_Input</TT> is destroyed or <TT>value()</TT> is called
+again.
+<H4><A name=Fl_Input.size>int Fl_Input::size() const</A></H4>
+ Returns the number of characters in <TT>value()</TT>. This may be
+greater than <TT>strlen(value())</TT> if there are nul characters in
+it.
+<H4><A name=Fl_Input.index>char Fl_Input::index(int) const</A></H4>
+ Same as <TT>value()[n]</TT>, but may be faster in plausible
+implementations. No bounds checking is done.
+<H4><A name=Fl_Input.when>Fl_When Fl_Widget::when() const
+<BR> void Fl_Widget::when(Fl_When)</A></H4>
+ Controls when callbacks are done. The following values are useful,
+the default value is <TT>FL_WHEN_RELEASE</TT>:
+<UL>
+<LI><TT>0</TT>: The callback is not done, but <TT>changed()</TT> is
+ turned on. </LI>
+<LI><TT>FL_WHEN_CHANGED</TT>: The callback is done each time the text
+is changed by the user. </LI>
+<LI><TT>FL_WHEN_RELEASE</TT>: The callback will be done when this
+widget loses the focus, including when the window is unmapped. This
+is a useful value for text fields in a panel where doing the callback
+on every change is wasteful. However the callback will also happen if
+the mouse is moved out of the window, which means it should not do
+anything visible (like pop up an error message). You might do better
+setting this to zero, and scanning all the items for <TT>changed()</TT>
+ when the OK button on a panel is pressed. </LI>
+<LI><TT>FL_WHEN_ENTER_KEY</TT>: If the user types the Enter key, the
+entire text is selected, and the callback is done if the text has
+changed. Normally the Enter key will navigate to the next field (or
+insert a newline for a <TT>Fl_Mulitline_Input</TT>), this changes the
+behavior. </LI>
+<LI><TT>FL_WHEN_ENTER_KEY|FL_WHEN_NOT_CHANGED</TT>: The Enter key will
+do the callback even if the text has not changed. Useful for command
+fields. </LI>
+</UL>
+<H4><A name=Fl_Input.textcolor>Fl_Color Fl_Input::textcolor() const
+<BR> void Fl_Input::textcolor(Fl_Color)</A></H4>
+ Gets or sets the color of the text in the input field.
+<H4><A name=Fl_Input.textfont>Fl_Font Fl_Input::textfont() const
+<BR> void Fl_Input::textfont(Fl_Font)</A></H4>
+ Gets or sets the font of the text in the input field.
+<H4><A name=Fl_Input.textsize>uchar Fl_Input::textsize() const
+<BR> void Fl_Input::textsize(uchar)</A></H4>
+ Gets or sets the size of the text in the input field.

+const
