How does one go about "greying out" an editable text item in a modal
dialog.  This is useful, for instance, if one want to indicate the item
is currently inapplicable.  For that matter, how would one do it with
a StatText dialog item, such a a popup menu title?  I've looked at
the TE, Dialog Manager, and Control Manager chapters of Inside Mac,
and can't see how to do this.

Thanks for the advice,
Ken Mcdonald
