Short:  Flexible Text PLUGIN
Author: jason@fsel.com (Jason R. Hulance)
Type:   dev/e

text_plug.m defines a new text PLUGIN for use with EasyGUI.  It has
several advantages over a normal TEXT gadget:

 1) It only renders within its allocated space, even if you change the
    text.  (If you change the text of a normal TEXT gadget to a long
    string then it will overwrite the window border.)
 2) You can specify the fonts to use for the label and the main string.
 3) In conjunction with the supplied fonts.m module, you can easily
    use the user's preferred default font (fixed width) or screen font
    (usually proportional).
 4) If you resize the GUI, more/less of the string will be shown, as
    possible.

An example program is supplied which uses an ASL requester for you to
select a font.  The use's preferred default font and screen font are
also used in the example.
