Cheers DF and Ben for your thoughtful replies.

I Dunno - I think they are pretty hard...

Really don't want buttons - it is a filename(of images) 'scanner',
designed to just scan through a list of a zillion filenames with the
arrow keys displaying/searching(visually) for a particular feature.
I would like to use multiple select for better signal to noise in some
data sets(I guess I could use a button for multiple selects - yeah that
could work).

I was the beginner guy in your UK class this march who didn't get OOP
very well. Just thought I'd mention that...

Thank you.

>> Try Selected = Widget_Info(MyWidgetList, /list_Select).

Cheers ben - Why does he think this to be bad? I think its dead good
and exactly the solution I was looking for (though I'll be checking
DF's example with intrest [and probably intricate incomprehension]).

Wow you have an exams and political Manoeuvring- do you have a badge
in your wallet too? Licence to solve dead hard IDL problems or
