I was wondering about an item that is declared "editText" in
a resources template. Is it just like a "TEHandle"? 

Can you Call:
GetDItem(dialog, itemno, &type, &tehandle, &rect);
TEIdle(tehandle);	(or any Textedit routine) 

I want to use a textEdit and a scroll bar in a dialog window, 
I tried to declare a textedit item for the window, and a user
Item for the scroll bar, but the "tehandle" that I declared and
stored in the item list does'nt act like I expect it to. 
I want to be able to access some of the "TEHandle" to calculate
the postion of the scroll bar at any given time.
Can you do this: 

GetDItem(dialog, itemno, &type, &tehandle, &rect);
tehandle = TENew(&rect, &rect);

and then use this handle??? Or am I way off track. Any help 
would be appreciated.
