        thanks for your input, marcus, but could you give me a few lines of
        code?  I tried using the gtk_label_set_text() for over an hour
        last night until it felt like my shoulder was going to drop off and
        fall on the floor! 

        other than usinng "g_signal_connect()" to bail out with a Quit,
        the only times I see anything to do with a signal are after going 
        GTK_ARROW_UP or _DOWN....  I may have misplaced the 
        gtk_label_get_text() stuff.  

        iv'e got:

        gtk_label_get_text(GTK_LABEL(user_data), buf );

        which now looks aways off...  need more clues.

        gary
