Bingo. Beautiful.

Hmmm. Sounds reasonable. Will give it a try.

Doh! What I bonehead I am. I have looked at the faq many times, and
didn't even see that last entry (was probably looking for something
else at the time). Sweet. Works great.

A couple more questions:

1) Can I make the text entry part of a combo box readonly, so that the
combo is merely a selection mechanism? Or is there some other widget
that would be better for selecting from a small list of choices?

2) I need to persist some options to disk, is there an api out there
everyone typically uses to read/write name/value pairs to a file?

Thanks to all three of the people who responded to my question. Most
lists are far from this helpful.
