        when I try to output the const char *s by casting the buf,
        with is a string, "label1", it is NULL!  Yes, no kidding.
        the next msg explains why.  

s = gtk_label_get_text(GTK_LABEL(labell);



        iv'e looked at the following code:

label1 = gtk_label_new("1: This is the file name named talk.1.txt");

        in another directory I have text files in /tmp/files/*;  I think
        the files over there grab the 10 files;  *if* I stick the
        output within gtk_label_new().  I think it may be a matter of
        putting these files together and grabbing the content of the
        talk.N.txt and putting them into gtk_label_new().

        { I am not explaining anything to this list, but at least I know
        what I want to try }
        .
