  xTEXTIN  L T W H Title Variable StartingText Bufflength

  This is one of these little boxes where you can input
  text or numbers. L T W H is the size of the box & Title
  will be placed to the left.

  StartingText is the text the window will open with.

  Bufflength is the size of the buffer :

    A "buffer" is a place where the program can put the
    things you write into this gadget. Since the program does
    not know how long the text you write into this gadget
    will be, you have to tell it beforehand.

    A buffer of size 100 means that it is 100 characters
    long. The gadget will not allow you to enter more characters.

  xTextIn gadgets can be controlled through the use of  Attributes .

  Also, you can get information on the current xTextIn gadget
  though  Internal Variables 

  Example :  Run Gui   Source 

  Used to be that this gadget would not realize that you
  had entered  anything, unless and until you pressed the
  ENTER key. Through excellent programming on my part, this 
  is all ancient history  now.. :)
