+The AsciiSink or MultiSink object is used by a text widget to render the text.
+Depending on its <function>international</function> resource, a
+AsciiText widget will create one or the other of these when the AsciiText
+itself is created. Both types are nearly identical; the following discussion
+applies to both, with MultiSink differences noted only as they occur.
+The AsciiSink
+will display all printing characters in an 8 bit font, along with handling Tab
+and Carriage Return. The name has been left as ``AsciiSink'' for compatibility.
+\fIThe MultiSink will display all printing characters in a font set, along with
+handling Tab and Carriage
+Return.\fP The source object also reports the text window metrics to the
+text widgets.
