     The textdisplay object supports display of text files.

     For files that were output from _r_o_f_f interpreters, the
     textdisplay object will format the text as specified by the con-
     trol characters produced by the fIroff _i_n_t_e_r_p_r_e_t_e_r.  _I_n _o_t_h_e_r

     Of course, the textdisplay object also supports display of plain
     ascii text files.

     The textdisplay object supports specification of five different
     fonts, the roman font that is used with "normal" text, as well as
     bold, italic, and helvetica fonts for emphasis and a symbol font
     for use with equations.

     The textdisplay object can also be used to support hypertext-type
     functionality.  The textdisplay object is capable of keeping a
     special list of words that might appear in the text;  such "spe-
     cial" words will appear in a different color from the rest of the
     text.  A callback can be installed on the textdisplay object
     which will be fired when the user clicks on a word that is part
     of the textdisplay list of "special" words.  Thus, the applica-
     tion can use this capability to display a new text file deter-
     mined by the word selected by the user.
