Sounds fine, I suppose...  What I had intended was that edit gets wrapped by 
a box that did not grow with the box, (i.e. put it in a scrollpane), add 
the bevel and functionality of a normal text box, and call the bigger 
widget textbox.  The textbox template has (I have it done) properties which 
allow single line, multiline, scrollbars or no, max chars or no, etc., 
etc..

I agree that 'text' is very misleading.  A label is a plain box with its 
text attribute set.  Editable and uneditable textboxes are really the same 
widget, but with opposite "editable" properties.  And single/mulitline are 
again the same widget as editable and uneditable textboxes.

Why complicate it?  Why have five separate widgets when one is easily 
represented by a single box, and the other four work fine as a single 
template?

I can't think of another GUI which makes the distinction that 
editable/noneditable, multiline/singleline text boxes are separate 
entities.
