How does one reuse a single text object? For example, several TextField objects in one window will use one Text object. In the Concepts manual, it says: (Under the heading "Reusing a Text Object", page 9-34 of the NeXTStep 1.0 Concepts manual) "As an efficiency, a single Text object can be reused: It can be made to draw in various Views or various locations within one View. In fact, you can make use of a Window's field editor, the Text object that the Application Kit uses to draw text within standard Kit objects. Using one Text object rather than several saves both startup time and memory." -P.C.
