Next thing!

I think I'm done with that project (the text field). Essentially every basic text function works now, and I've included confirmation boxes for certain things (ex: when you hit esc, you are asked whether or not you wish to quit the program). The only other thing I could want to do with it would be to allow manipulation of previously entered text (using storage arrays) - but that would probably take more work than what I've already done on this project, and I'm feeling like I want to move on anyway.
Onward to the next project!

more of the same, basically

still working on the keylistener/text field project. Finally got backspace to work by having it replace the previous character with nothing. Had some trouble using that when the previous character was a new line (\n); compromised by telling the new line to fill the line with spaces instead of using \n. It's less convenient, but functional. Next up: working with shift! symbols and capital/lowercase letters will be really useful.
