Thanks! Markus.

And, No.  There aren't any significantly open issues.  The code 
presented by Alan works perfectly.  It has already been in production 
with my clients for over a week without a glitch.

I would be glad to implement a "gprint()" function to ease the flow for 
some of my other programs/C++ scripts/applications that haven't been 
implemented with the gui window, as well as some of my future project 
and overall understanding and learning.  But as I mentioned, I'm 
reserving that development for a future thread.

I really appreciate all the support I have had with this maillist in 
helping me with my tasks... and of course I'm testing everything posted 
to enhance the integrity of my coding.  I hope my testing and reporting 
back with keep the community interested in my next phase and continue to 
offer input.

Out of appreciation for the support that I'm getting, I'm also studying 
how I can become a contributor.  In other projects where I have worked, 
I have contributed in documentation writing, translating, and proofing.  
That is were I'm currently researching 
(https://wiki.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/Contributing).

From my reading and the standards described I see it takes a lot of 
dedication.  I appreciate the patience the community is showing with 
me.  I hope to give back to the community with my dedication by 
following all the provided steps.

Thanks!
