Hi,

I would like to have a function:

strAnswer = ReadUserInput()

readUserInput would then create a (modal) base, have a text-field where the
user types his tekst. When the base is
closed, the contents of the textfield are returnedn in strAnswer.

I've come up with this:

strTemp=''
ptr1 = ptr_new(strTemp)
ptr2 = ptr1
TextFieldBase, ptr1, group_leader=... ;this guy modifies *ptr1
...
at this point, ptr1 seems to be destroyed (by who, why?), but p2 points to
whatever is been filled in in textfieldbase.

It seems to work, but are there any pitfalls here? Is there any better way
to do this?
thanks for any input,

Gert
