Text_t question

Hi ROOTers,

This may sound like a trivial question, but I'm somewhat befuddled by the
variable type Text_t.  Many function prototypes take this argument for
their text boxes etc., but actually knowing how to work with this
construct is not clear to me.  The only definition its given in the
Classes and Members Reference Guide is:
Text_t........Generic String

Does that mean one treats its instantiation like a char array?  Its
obvious that this and the TString type are in no way inheritence related
at least, but what operations are defined for Text_t?  How does one
construct Text_ts with more than just one char (this is all I can get it
to do at the moment, is instantiate a Text_t with one character, which is 
not terribly useful)?
