What I am looking for is a replacement for editing/saving/printing  
styled text documents that was so easy to do using FB.  I want the  
edit region to be the entire window.

The MLTE demo doesn't wrap within the confines of the window region,  
but instead has a horizontal scroll bar that goes to nowhere, (well  
really far to the right).  But it seems to have all the features I  
need and it doesn't look like it will work with the FB event handler.

The YAST demo doesn't have any of the features of the MLTE.

It's too bad the FB Edit Menu 2 statement and the fn SetUpEditMenu  
cannot work together.  There is a big split in what you can and  
cannot use together. Somehow I have to be able to get my Appearance  
Buttons to work correctly with Fn SetUpEditMenu, but I suspect it  
isn't possible.

I asked earlier about possibly patching runtime appearance button  
when using unicode to set justification properly. Since you didn't  
reply, I suspect it isn't possible.

The appearance button creates the unicode edit text control correctly  
with this one exception.
