        !            10: A text field is a slot where text is displayed.  If editable, the user can type in a single line of data-such as a file name, a part number, or an address into the text field.\

        !            14: \
        !            15: Selectable or editable text should normally be enclosed by a border of some kind to set it off from the background.\
        !            16: \
        !            17: Labels and titles are displayed against a gray background without a border.  If they can be selected or edited, the background should turn white when the user first initiates a selection (i.e., on the first mouse-down event).\
        !            18: \
        !            19: The text in a text field is normally editable, so it's displayed against a white background.  When the text field is temporarily disabled, the text becomes gray (just like the label of a button) but the background color doesn't change.\

        !            32: If the user's entry isn't acceptable, all of the text in the field is selected and highlighted.  The user can make any necessary corrections and try again.
