Multple views of a Text object

I'm trying to display the same text in multiple views.

Unfortunately, Text is a subclass of View, not something that projects into
a View.

Fortunately, the Concepts manual says that Text can be displayed in multiple
views.

Unfortunately, neither Concepts nor Reference say how to do this (at least,
I haven't found it after about 10 hours of looking).

I've tried copying various pointers and things inside Text using the *evil*
@defs technique. So I have multiple Text objects that point at a lot of the
same stuff. The other Text objects seem to know that *something* is there
(the cursor can be moved out of the upper left corner), but they won't display
anything when sent a "display" message, and my app crashes without diagnostics
when I try to type into any but the original Text view.

Is there some slick way to do this?

If not, is there some grubby way to do this?

Thanks,
