RE: Deleting text from a GtkExText

["Dugas, Alan" <alan dugas analog com>]

Well, by scaling down the number of calls to gtk_extext_insert() I found
that the loading scaled proportionatly.  This more or less confirms my
suspiction that gtkextext requires significantly more overhead than gtktext.
For the time being I will live with this with an eye towards writing as much
data as possible into one gigantic array to minimize gtk_extext_insert()
calls.  However,  how do I display text at one location and insert text in
another?  The application I am working on collects data real-time and
appends new data to the bottom of the gtkextext.  If I wish to view
something at the top of the widget and use either the scrollbar or keyboard
to do so, the text that's supposed to be appended to the bottom gets
inserted into the viewing location instead!!  Has anyone else run into this?

a function to facilitate this.  Thanks again to those who respond.
