Another query re: formatted text using InterViews Compositors. Tabs: is there any support for them in any of the available classes? I've managed to do all the per-character formatting I need to, and I'm working on margins and indents and leading etc., but I don't see any way to work tabs into the architecture. I need something like a glue or a strut except that I need to be able to pin one of its (horizontal) ends to a specific Coord. Any ideas? Also, the doc application can cut and paste within itself, but there's no support for the X Selection mechanism. Does interviews have anything akin to XtOwnSelection? or do I have to write all that race-condition nastiness myself? Thanks, Dan
