Do you mean combox.C in the head branch of cvs?
Anyway, I have no idea what you are talking about. Please give further details.

I'm happy to do this. It's one of the reasons I suggested improving the
existing citation dialog in the first place. In the meantime, I'll continue
learning how to implement this in the main branch.

Hope this won't be too much work. Good luck.
I haven't been doing / won't do anything further on this GUI-indendent stuff
until I can compile and run an executable. I HAVE got the main branch to
compile with DEC cxx and std::string, so don't anticipate any problems if you
base the new branch on this. Looking forward to further anouncements...
