I am trying to copy text from an editText item in a Dialog box into a
Str255 variable.  I am using Think C 4.0.  I did a GetDItem followed
by either the GetIText routine in the toolbox, or GetTextHandle (from
the CStaticText class in the Think Class Library).  Either way, I keep
getting a bus error.

There must be a simple way to get text from an editText item in a
Dialog box either using TCL or toolbox calls.  Could someone please
send me a brief explanation of how to do this.  HELP!!
