how to use hbox?

[Gary Kline <kline thought org>]

        guys,

        well, i've reached a stumbling block.  the app i am working
        on had things is a vertical stack.  so far, there about 6
        rectangles.  the first shows the default title and the
        count: Something like "talk.0.txt"

        the second and third rectangles are buttons: 

        "Increase"
        "Decreate"

        the next space is text that instructs the user to enter an
        alternate file prefix if he wants.

        the last rectangle is active in that the user can type into
        it; and yes, if he types in "chat" the top rectangle does
        change.

        i would like to have the two buttons "Increase" and
        "Decrease" packed together using hbox.  i have been trying
        various things in gtk.org but haven't figured out how to
        put the buttons that increase or decrease the count.  

        can somebody help me figure out how to pack the buttons
        horizontally, or is is not possible to mix hbox and vbox?

        tia,

        gary
