+{This window is a text widget. It displays one or more lines of text
+and allows you to edit the text. Here is a summary of the things you
+can do to a text widget:
+
+1. Scrolling. Use the scrollbar to adjust the view in the text window.
+
+2. Scanning. Press mouse button 2 in the text window and drag up or down.
+This will drag the text at high speed to allow you to scan its contents.
+
+3. Insert text. Press mouse button 1 to set the insertion cursor, then
+type text. What you type will be added to the widget.
+
+4. Select. Press mouse button 1 and drag to select a range of characters.
+Once you've released the button, you can adjust the selection by pressing
+button 1 with the shift key down. This will reset the end of the
+selection nearest the mouse cursor and you can drag that end of the
+selection by dragging the mouse before releasing the mouse button.
+You can double-click to select whole words or triple-click to select
+whole lines.
+
+5. Delete and replace. To delete text, select the characters you'd like
+to delete and type Backspace or Delete. Alternatively, you can type new
+text, in which case it will replace the selected text.
+
+6. Copy the selection. To copy the selection into this window, select
+what you want to copy (either here or in another application), then
+click button 2 to copy the selection to the point of the mouse cursor.
+
+7. Edit. Text widgets support the standard Motif editing characters
+plus many Emacs editing characters. Backspace and Control-h erase the
+character to the left of the insertion cursor. Delete and Control-d
+erase the character to the right of the insertion cursor. Meta-backspace
+deletes the word to the left of the insertion cursor, and Meta-d deletes
+the word to the right of the insertion cursor. Control-k deletes from
+the insertion cursor to the end of the line, or it deletes the newline
+character if that is the only thing left on the line. Control-o opens
+a new line by inserting a newline character to the right of the insertion
+cursor. Control-t transposes the two characters on either side of the
+insertion cursor.
+
+7. Resize the window. This widget has been configured with the "setGrid"
+option on, so that if you resize the window it will always resize to an
+even number of characters high and wide. Also, if you make the window
+narrow you can see that long lines automatically wrap around onto
+additional lines so that all the information is always visible.}
