no joy...

[Gary Kline <kline thought org>]

thanks to those  who have tried to help, mostly off-list.  i can't
believe how hard this is.

i want to open a  base  window:

        gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window),"testing");
        gtk_widget_set_usize(GTK_WIDGET(window),200,300);

  ...

and then only a text window --upon button press-- and display
some text:


        text = gtk_text_view_new();
        gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window),text);
        buffer = gtk_text_view_get_buffer(GTK_TEXT_VIEW(text));
"
and fopen some file and display the text in the buffer.  The   
question remains: how? what am i missing to display some
miscellaneous words in the text window?

thanks in a advance.
