Subject:rc_display_file and improved rclib documentation 
From:Aaron Sloman See text for reply address

[To reply replace "Aaron.Sloman.XX" with "A.Sloman"]

A supplement to the previous message: in response to requests from
students working on projects, I have produced an autoloadable
extension to rclib, LIB rc_display_file.

It uses rc_display_strings to display a file in a scrolltext panel.
It can be used to display scrollable help information for a program,
as an alternative to using an Xved window.

I've updated HELP RCLIB to give information about this and also
better documentation on the more general rc_display_strings
procedure. This is all now in
    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/rclib.tar.gz

Has anyone used highlighting and selected text with XpwScrollText ?

I know Xved does it but I am not sure where the code is, and it
would be nice if someone had already produce a simple non-ved based
text selection mechanism that works with the XpwScrollText widget,
and can be copied and used without having to read books on X.

Thanks.

Aaron
