   There are three "modes" that widgets take on when you're modifying them
with the Control Panel Editor ( whether its from DataScribe, Module Builder,
or Module Groups in the Map editor ).  They are something like the following :

   * UNSELECTED - the widget's title ( provided it has one ) is gray, and the
	widget isn't outlined in black.  In this mode, the widget is not
	modifiable.

   * OUTLINED IN BLACK, with title grayed out - in this mode, you can 
	interactively move the widget ( by grabbing the widget anywhere inside
	the black outline except the lower right hand corner ), or resize the
	widget ( by grabbing in the lower right hand corner of the outline ).
	This mode is obtained by clicking the pointer over the widget.

   * OULINED IN BLACK, with title also in black - in this mode, you can 
	change the limits for dials and sliders, or the widgets default
	vaule.  If you double click over the widgets labels ( numbers )
	the text entry field should turn inverted ( black background, 
	blue numbers given a default configuration ), at which point, you
	can enter in any new value.  Press ENTER to make the value stick.

   Hope that helps.

Thanx,
Dave
