Another thanks for a useful pointer.
On the one hand I'm a bit surprised at how involved the whole thing has
turned out to be, but OTOH I'm glad I wasn't being as Extremely Thick as
I'd suspected in not cracking it myself... I'd wondered if it would be
a case of "RTFM /magic_keyword"... ;-/

While others have provided the answer you were looking for, I'm going to
suggest that you check out David's FSC_INPUTFIELD as an alternative to
your label/text widget pairs. His code performs simple type checking
and allows you to set tab order among other things. Once you start
using it you'll never go back...
You can find it in his program library under general widget programs.

Hi Pete,
the website proposed by Benjamin is surely a very good point to start
with. In addition, I would just like to emphasis one detail (given
there as well) which explains why you don't get any reaction when
pressing buttons on the second widget. It is just that you need a
second event handling routine and a second call to xmanager when you
build the second widget.
Cheers,
Peter

I'm not really sure what you want, but the following might be useful:

Good luck,
