DESCRIPTION
      The GetTextBufferLine function is used to retrieve the contents of line
      from the text TextBuffer.  It returns a pointer to a string containing
      the copy of the contents of the line or NULL if the line is outside the
      range of valid lines in text.

NOTE
      The storage for the copy is allocated by this routine.  It is the
      responsibility of the caller to free this storage when it becomes
      dispensable.
