CREATES A SYSTEM OBJECT EDIT AND ALLOCATES IT NUMBER N AS REFERENCE
ACTION
The command EDIT N creates a system object EDIT, and allocates it a number N. The number N will be used to designate the EDIT.
The created EDIT can then be used through the appropriated commands.
The EDIT is created at position (0,0) : that is TOP = 0 pixel and LEFT = 0 pixel, with dimensions WIDTH = 121 pixels and HEIGHT = 21 pixels.
An EDIT displays an area where the user can enter or modify a line of text.
An EDIT can generate the events : ON_CLICK, ON_DOUBLE_CLICK, ON_CHANGE, ON_KEY_UP, ON_KEY_DOWN.
Remark 1: by default, the EDIT is created on the FORM number 0, but another FORM can be used. For that, create a FORM by FORM N, and send it all the commands by COMMAND_TARGET_IS N before creating the EDIT.
Remark 2: an EDIT is filled with the command TEXT, and is read with the function TEXT$().
