Static text
Basic text line
A single line of text at default spacing. The text size is determined
by the size of the component.
Basic text box
A box of text without scrolling. Text size can be adjusted. Word wrap is
done automatically although carriage-returns can force new lines. Imported
text will have linefeeds and carriage-returns stripped out before display.
Display in the applet is done by similar word wrap and exact replication of the
original display can't be guaranteed although testing with Netscape and IE so far has
revealed no differences.
Elastic text line
The text is stretched (or compressed) to fill the available display area.
Scrolled text area
This is a standard Java text area component with no line wrap. Imported text is
displayed as is with no modification.
