TEInit

The TEInit procedure initializes TextEdit.

PROCEDURE TEInit;

DESCRIPTION

In addition to initialization of miscellaneous global variables, such as TEDoText and TERecal, the TEInit procedure sets up the private scrap and allocates a handle to it. Call TEInit at the beginning of your program after you initialize QuickDraw, the Font Manager, and the Window Manager, in that order, and before you initialize the Dialog Manager. You should call TEInit even if your application doesn't use TextEdit, so that desk accessories and dialog and alert boxes, which use TextEdit routines, work correctly.
