actually Phil, yours is considerably better, although the other one
does have interesting features about the indenting biz and the
"open/closed" symbol at the left edge.
I just got done testing both of them a few minutes ago. the one I
intend to use is Phil's. I've tweaked it a bit, and it needs one more
major correction about the frame...

which brings up a different point: to the authors of the spec: in
section 30.4.8, Text-editor Gadget, :width and :height are initargs
taking a number of pixels. I think this should be made similar to
other pane-size specs, allowing '(2 :lines) and '(20 :characters) or
some such as options (where lines would be the default-text-style's
text-height [ascent + descent + leading] and :Characters would be the
width of a space, an em-dash, or [perhaps] a string from which to
compute width).
in allegro 4.2, clim2-beta, motif, I got a text-editor gadget which
was not tall enough to see the contents clearly. the height was either
computed poorly or has some internal mismatch between text-style and
pane-height. so I would like to be able to specify it more completely.
