In tweaking the asciiStringWidget, I wanted to remap the event to do an additional step. Unfortunately, the placement of the event in the default translation table with respect to other 'modified' events, allowed it to do the right thing, whereas adding an #override event caused the other modified events to be ignored. Does this mean that XtOverrideTranslations places the new bindings at the start of the table? ----------------------------- Alan Epstein Meta Software Corp UUCP: ...bbn!metasoft!alan 150 Cambridgepark Dr Internet/ARPA: alan%metasoft@bbn.com Cambridge, MA 02140 USA -----------------------------
