First I would like to thank you all for your replies! Now I'm going to
study them and try to make it work... As for the code I'm using, I've
just re-used the code from the Gtk-Perl tutorial.

Plus I've attached a table to the page, and the text widget is attached
to another table within the first one (to add a scroll-bar as well).

And you're right, I'm using the same var when creating the pages! Now
I'm in for a headache trying to make it work!  :)

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Phil
