	Hello to all of the programmers out there. I need some help and once
again welcome any and all help on this subject. Even if it is just look at the
source to a file called ******* on FF???. Infact this is mostly what I would
like. 
	
	Now what I need. I need to be able to enter some strings from a window
that I have created. I have tried String gadgets but they are just not what I 
need. I need to be able to enter two string but have not been able to do it.
I have the source to a few editors that floated around awhile ago. But I have
not been able to straighten them out enough. What I have come up with is that
I need to use the Console.Device and attach some read and write ports to the
window. I did this and it lets me move the cursor around (read some code from 
one of the editors lets me do this!! :-) but none of the keys typed comes up
on the screen. Any help from any one at any level would be greatly appriciated.

	Thanks in advance,
	Joshua
