Re: Finding out CList row selections

["Shippy!" <shippy cs nmt edu>]

Well, let's say I have GList *sel = clist->selection;.
If I want to access the stuff in there, I would use
sel->data. My question is, what is 'data' exactly? What
type of structure is it? What members inside of 'data'
would give me the number of that row?
