I need to provide a text field for user input into my
Smalltalk/V program. I do _NOT_ want the user to have to
select the the text like you must in the Transcript window. A
specific key (a control-D perhaps) would terminate text
entry. This would allow multi-line input. The text would be
returned to my program as the result of the message sent to
this text entry object.

Can anyone tell me how to do this or point me to code that
already does this? Thanks.

Joe
