View Ref-FileOBJC_EDIT(tree,obj,char,old_pos,flag,new_pos)

tree, obj, char, old_pos, flag: iexp
new_pos: ivar

Facilitates the input and editing of text in the G_TEXT and G_BOXTEXT object
types.

Returns 0 if and error occured.

    tree    - Address of the object tree.
    obj     - Object number.
    char    - Input character (including Scan code).
    old_pos - Current cursor position in input string.
    flag    - Function selection:
              0: Reserved (function call does nothing)        ED_START
              1: String is formatted and cursor switched on   ED_INIT
              2: Character processed and string re-displayed  ED_CHAR
              3: Text cursor switched off                     ED_END
    new_pos - Returns the new cursor position in input string.

Memo: ED_INIT always places the cursor at the end of the string.

      The code inside the editor seems to indicate that parameter 'new_pos'
      should be optional, however the syntax rule doesn't seem to allow it.
