Sorry. I just assumed that it was using them without checking which ones
actually were in use.

However, I don't feel quite so foolish as I might otherwise after reading
subsequent comments by Dave Fisher and Daniel Westerberg. It appears there
was good reason to not use them in the past, and that now there may be
good reason to use them with IBrowse.

I sent a thank you note for Jens for his work as it solved a longstanding
problem I had with YAM, that I was unable to pinpoint and for which no one
offered any solutions in response to the queries I put out. Obviously it
was some problem with the old classes. My understanding from a cursory
reading of the docs is that there is still some development work to be
done with the current incarnation of Mui text editor and better string,
but in my estimation a large step forward has already been accomplished.

I agree with Daniel Westerberg's comment the current IB implementation of
"The form editor really isn't any good. Can't even copy text in it."

You can actually copy text from the text box to the clipboard. The problem is
that there's a menu item shortcut RAmiga-C (for "Edit->Copy") which apparently
has a higher priority than the internal RAmiga-C shortcut of the text box -
i.e. copying text is possible in theory, but the shortcut never 'reaches' the
text box.

Use RAmiga-X followed by RAmiga-V (cut text, then paste it again) to simulate
RAmiga-C.
