Hi again. My platform of choice will be MacOS 9 with carbonlib 1.6
installed.

Now my problem is that I need one control that supports all the points I
wrote together. The most important one being the first one, so I'll give a
look at MacTextEditor.h. I suppose that if that doesn't mean my case I'll
go for creating a text displayer myself someway.

Now I was wondering why it is that the Controls Manager Reference tells me
that most of the times you create a custom control when you need sliders.
Can't you make a text displaying control with CDEFs?

Thanks for the help!!
