+ * Instances of this class are controls that allow the user
+ * to choose an item from a list of items, or optionally 
+ * enter a new value by typing it into an editable text
+ * field. Often, <code>Combo</code>s are used in the same place
+ * where a single selection <code>List</code> widget could
+ * be used but space is limited. A <code>Combo</code> takes
+ * less space than a <code>List</code> widget and shows
+ * similar information.
+ * <p>
+ * Note: Since <code>Combo</code>s can contain both a list
+ * and an editable text field, it is possible to confuse methods
+ * which access one versus the other (compare for example,
+ * <code>clearSelection()</code> and <code>deselectAll()</code>).
+ * The API documentation is careful to indicate either "the
+ * receiver's list" or the "the receiver's text field" to 
+ * distinguish between the two cases.
+ * </p><p>
+ * Note that although this class is a subclass of <code>Composite</code>,
+ * it does not make sense to add children to it, or set a layout on it.
