I would like to stop using "text area" in the doc strings and the user
manual.  It is a confusing term, more so for me, because it has a very
specific meaning in the display code.

So from my POV, the ideal solution is to go through all of those
places and replace "text area" with "window body" (and if the latter
is already there, just delete the former).

Thanks.
