Well, I'm grateful for any solution, even a Fortran-ish one. :-)
It turns out a list widget, although simplifying my
life, made other things more complicated. For example,
one of the requirements is that we be able to cut
and paste information in the "form" into an application
like Excel. You can do this from a text widget, but
not from a List widget, even though the two look identical
on the display.
(And while I'm on the topic, how come you can't
send anything but graphics output commands to the
Printer? Does this make any sense to you!?)
Cheers,
David
