A question about TextEdit:

  The manager seems non-orthogonal in terms of interchangability of
  parameters.  Specifically, if I want to scroll text with the updated
  manager, I need to know the size of the lines I'm scrolling off & on.
  TEGetStyle only returns the height & ascent for the style on a line,
  not the max values for the line.  TEGetHeight would work, and there's
  the line height table, but no way to convert an offset into a line number.
  What am I missing here?  Any suggestions on how to do this conversion
  efficiently?
Thanks in advance for the help!!!
