+The wxEditor class implements a simple text editor using wxPython. You
+can create a custom editor by subclassing wxEditor. Even though much of
+the editor is implemented in Python, it runs surprisingly smoothly on
+normal hardware with small files.
+How to use it
+-------------
+The demo code (demo/wxEditor.py) shows how to use wxEditor as a simple text
+box. Use the SetText() and GetText() methods to set or get text from
+the component; these both use a list of strings.
+
+The samples/FrogEdit directory has an example of a simple text editor
+application that uses the wxEditor component.
+
+Subclassing
+-----------
+To add or change functionality, you can subclass this
+component. One example of this might be to change the key
+Alt key commands. In that case you would (for example) override the
+SetAltFuncs() method.
