I'm assuming he wants a readonly scrollable display.

IIRC, trouble with Fl_*_Output is no scrollbars.
I moved a lot of stuff away from that widget
just to get the scrollbars.
If there's bugs/shortcomings with Fl_Text_Display's
caret + keynav, we should probably fix it, so that it
can be a fully functional replacement for Fl_Multiline_Output.
I did notice, as David did, that the caret would sometimes
not appear. I found if the window opened when my mouse wasn't in it,
the caret wouldn't appear. And moving the mouse INTO the window
didn't make it appear.
I had to add 'take_focus()' to make it show up when the window
opened without the mouse in it. (On my linux system, the
window manager uses "focus follows mouse")
