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.
