I would like to have a callback procedure invoked whenever a user selects a portion of text from a Text Widget (Athena Widget Set). The callback should return the selected text. Is there a simple way to do this? How? I had less trouble with X11 color models. 8-) Thanks much - jc John Clyne (clyne@bierstadt.ucar.edu) c/o National Center for Atmospheric Research P.O.

Is there a simple way to do this? How? How about adding your own action like this: <Btn1Up>: extend-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) MyAction() \n\ <Btn3Up>: extend-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) MyAction() Since actions are called in order there should always be a good selection when you action routine is called. Of course, if the user modified his translation table then your action may not be called. Chris D.
