Right, it just seems to come up as a FAQ.
I'll try going with a simple extra sentence in the intros, a \see reference,
and will add code examples to the Fl_Text_xxx widget intros.
Fl_Output_Multiline:
If you want scrollbars to appear when data exceeds the edges of
the widget, use Fl_Text_Display instead.
Fl_Input_Multiline
If you want scrollbars to appear when data exceeds the edges of
the widget, use Fl_Text_Editor instead.
