From where is the initialize function in text.c called?

Scott,

Thanks very much--very clear and helpful response!

Aside 1: Something I'm going to keep wondering about as I go through the nedit 
code: would some additional comments (on this point) be of value to anyone 
beside myself?  (And would they even be of value to myself a few years from 
now when I presumably "know" these kinds of things?)  

Or, would it be of value to have sort of a commentary on some of the code in 
separate file(s) dedicated to newbies to C and or the nedit codebase?  In 
this case, maybe a text.c.commentary file, unless the comments are general 
enough to be worthy of a nedit.commentary file (in both cases, with a shorter 
extension, like .cmt, or .cmty, or ??)?

Aside 2: I guess I should learn to use a debugger with the nedit code--I 
presume I'd have to have a binary that matched the source code I'm reviewing 
(i.e., compile from CVS) and do whatever it takes to enable the debugging 
symbols.  Something to work towards (that is, both compiling nedit and 
setting up a debugger). ;-) (I'll get around to it someday.)
