This is sort of an in general question stemmed from trying to use winhack.exe 
to find where in memory it was putting text that scrolls in some game.

But I am also curious as to where it places it in memory anyway. How? etc.. 

I'm know VB3 [sadly], and can sort of read a little of c++ and Java code, but am no
real programer by far.
 
Also text boxes (for any program) that you type stuff into...where is it 
held in memory, ...if you wanted to change it by code? How would you find it?
Are there programs that can search all of your computers' memory to find it. 

Does the program handle this or does windows? Is there a name for this
memory location?

What I want to do [ultimately] is just be able to read from a
scrolling text box in another program.
