The bad news:
I am confused on how to make [appearance] static edit fields editable.  The 
manual says that one must merely change the type of an edit field to an 
editable type to switch it from static to editable (or that's my 
interpretation).  The demo below fails to do that, and also must use cls to 
remove the undesirable proof of downscaling.  With Standard BASIC, both 
problems vanish.

window 1,"Testing",(0,0)-(600,600)

edit field 1,"Edit Me!",(0,0)-(500,500),_statFramed
edit field 1,,(0,0)-(200,200),_Framed
cls

do
handleevents
until 0

Seems simple... apparently too simple for me.  Blech, anyone know what I am 
doing wrong?

The good news:
Once I fix the refresh quirks, one related item, and get the thing to 
actually build then Scheduler should be done.  Hooray! [And then, the big 
guns turn for the mother[load, ship]: Starships]
