Greg,
thanks for the offer, I hope it holds up for my next more difficult
question :-)
With this one, I've now resorted to initializing the string to NULL, so
that I get a NULL returned if the user cancels. So this question can be
considered solved. (I just thought that I must have overlooked a
standard input box widget, it seems like such a frequently-needed thing.)
Now, I'm stuck with this next topic, and I'll send that one to the list
in a few minutes. I think that that one is more difficult, but hope that
this list's expertise may have the right pointer for me.
Regards, Ulrike
