Yes you can.

A single line textfield has no scrollbars, just scrolls happily left/right.
A multi line textfiled has scrollbars

I personally don't like the idea of a label just being a box with it's text
set because It pisses me off when you can't select labels to copy them. :)

There's lots of little distinctions to be made.  But they all are just
slight variations on the basic text widget - but your minimising the work
for the application developer by doing it for them.

Maybe I'm making more of this than needs be though.  If you consider me
wrong wrt to label, you could argue a single line textbox is just a
multiline one with it's scrollbars being hidden and CRs being ignored.
(Could be done in a _multiline trap.)  And that richtext is an entirely
different widget.
