I've looked at the tutorials, it's the reason I'm as far as I am. :)

So I need to store a pointer to my widgets in a linked list like thing? I've
got the program to show things, but I need a way to reference those widgets
after I've created them, in a whole 'nother function. I think I'm going to
have to do a "widget collection" list or something. I was just hoping there
was some builtin way of doing it, because the only other way I could think of
is global variables, which are annoying...

Thanks! (BTW, I'll take a look at that page of yours. Thanks!)
