Is it that it doesn't get accessed, or there's no text to send? I mean,
there are three reasonable possibilities:

	1) #sendTextToControl: is not invoked.
	2) It is invoked but passed #nil (unlikely)
	3) It is invoked but passed the empty string.

My guess is that the latter is what's happening. I also bet that there's
no *trailing* cr when you do have text.

If you want to have a cr when there's an empty string, just modify
#sendTextToControl: to test for an empty string and do the deed.

If you want a cr *only* when an "empty" cr occurs (i.e., when an empty
textmorph gets accepted by some other means you *don't* want a cr), well,
that's more complicated.

So, I'll wait until you explicitly ask for that :)
