If you figure it out let me know :-)

Near as I can tell this interface is not currently documented anywhere, and
the people who understand it have long since disappeared.  

[ If there is anyone out there who has a discription of the interface 
  please let me know. ]

I am currently working on making the Ascii Text Widgets easier to use, and
in the process I hope to come up with a complete specification of the interface
between the text widget and its sources and sinks.  I hope to have this 
specification ready for inclusion in R4.  If you need to have this information
before that time (this yearish) then you will have to use the source.
