        Does anyone know exactly how the TextEdit records in dialog boxes work?
I know that for all of the edit items in the dialog box there is only
one TE record. Does it switch the textH field of the TE record each time you
click on a different edit item? Or does it do something completely different?
Also, what does the editOpen field of the Dialog box do? And my last question,
where does the ParamText variables get stored? (I thought they were low memory
globals but I can't seem to find them in Knaster's book.)
        The reason I want to know this is because I am implementing something
like a dialog box but it is different enough that it needs to be rewritten.
I would, however, like to be able to use the item list defined in the dialog
manager so that I can use ResEdit to create and edit the item lists.
