Duh! How come I didn't think of that!?
Cheers,

P.S. Let's just say the only thing that confuses me
more than how text widgets work is string manipulation. :-(
I'll give Pavel credit, though. He's done it!
I did learn one new thing today, though. I eventually
went to a multiple selection list widget, which--of course--
returns an array of the text indices I *don't* want. I want
the inverse of this. So I found a fabulous SetDifference
function on that Coyote site that allowed me to fix my
text array in one line. Neat! :-)
