TextField

A TextField is a standard Motif widget that provides a single-line editor.
Sun MTPScan uses a TextField object to gather input from the keyboard. To start 
typing into a TextField, click the first mouse button inside the object's 
borders. A text cursor (looks like an elongated capital I) appears when you 
release the button. Text appears at the cursor as you type. If you make a 
mistake, position the cursor (with a click) after character where the mistake is
and press the backspace key to erase backward.

If the contents of a TextField are too long to appear in the object's allocated 
space, part of the text may be hidden. Use the left and right arrow buttons 
(when the text cursor is in the TextField) to move the text within the visible 
viewport. The TextField has no ScrollBars.

You can also copy and paste text from TextField to TextField. Click and drag the
first mouse button over the text to copy. The text you select turns to an 
inverse color. After you make the selection (terminated with a mouse-up), 
position the cursor where you wish to deposit the text with a mouse click (first
button), then click the middle button to paste the selection where the cursor 
is. Note that you can copy and paste from any TextField in any window to any 
other TextField in any window, even windows not related to Sun MTPScan, as long as 
the text is in some kind of Text or TextField object (an xterm is fair game).
