    a typeConverter can be used as an editFields model

    (remember, that an editField expects a string in its model),

    to convert the fields string value to some object and vice versa.

    Its main use is when building interfaces with inputFields,

    where the datum to be entered is a non-string and you

    want to have the entered value be converted automatically.

    (and vice versa, to convert the datum to a string).

    No real new functionality is added here - all is inherited

    from PluggableAdapter; however, some specialized instance creation

    methods are added here.

    Notice: 

        this class was implemented using protocol information

        from alpha testers - it may not be complete or compatible to

        the corresponding ST-80 class. 

        If you encounter any incompatibilities, please forward a note 

        describing the incompatibility verbal (i.e. no code) to the ST/X team.
