How do I get the handle (or is it a pointer?) to the editline text? According
to the Toolbox ref's Dialog manager chapter, the item descriptor of an editline
is the pointer to the default string (this is a pascal string, right?) and
the item value is the maximum length of the text. No where does it mention
how to get at this text. Also, when I type into the editLine, the cursor
moves, but nothing shows up...

Help!!
