void setText(char[] name, char[] text){  name.setText(text);}

there is  ' setText(char[] text)  ' in the base class

each instance has a name. I cannot get this to work? 
the Tango book covers this very weakly

I'm not following what you want to do.

Do you want to add methods to a class that inherits from dwt.widgets.Text? 

Do you want to add a method to a particular object at run time? (BTW this 
is not possible)

Do you want to add method to a the dwt.widgets.Text class?

 Yes

{
void setText(char[] name, char[] text){  name.setText(text);}
}

time by name

setText(name,text)

It is also this -I am using numerous  text boxes  each with a name .
and I want to change the text on each as I create it 
I need a method to make the normal 'setText(text) method into setText(
name,text)
