Re: GTK/GNOME PRGRAMMING BOOK BY Peter Wright

Richard,

If you look at the "File Dialog OK Handler" section, function FileDlgOK
you should see a "gchar * SelectedFile;" This pointer gives you access 
to the file name selected with the dialog. As written, the filename is 
lost at the end of the FileDlgOK function. The simplest way to return 
the filename to your code would be with a global variable; although there
are better ways to do the same thing. (brain hurts right now :-)

Hope that helps,
 Sean
