Text Class - Horizontal Scrolling

  One last appeal on this subject:

  Does anyone know for a fact whether 

  (1) the Text class *is* capable of doing automatic horizontal scrolling (i.e.
      when you type past the end of the frame it updates the Text objects frame)

	or

  (2) the Text class *is* not capable of doing automatic horizontal scrolling?

  There is a suspicious lack of any example programs that have editable 
horizontally scrolling windows.  The fact that all NeXT documentation
shows only vertically scrollable Text windows scares me.

  If indeed the Text class can do horizontal scrolling, any pointers to
sample code would be incredibly appreciated.  Merely changing the scrolling
Text code in the Concepts manual does *not* work.  It produces precisely
the set of symptoms mentioned in earlier posts.  (i.e. the system responds
properly for the 1st line of text and ignores the rest for purposes of
changing the frame rectangle.)  There may be some examples on ftp sites
that I am unaware of, since I've been programming the NeXT for only a little
over a month.

  Anyway, thanks in advance once again.  I'm very grateful for any
responses.
