I have been experimenting with programming using GEM calls and I
ran into a problem I cannot resolve. I tried to set up a dialog
box as follows:

  --------------------------------------
                                       <-- Obj_Type=G_BOX
                                           Obj_Flag=NONE
                                           Obj_State=NORMAL
                                      
                                      
                      ----------------
                       Click Here     <-- Obj_Type=G_BOXTEXT
 --------------------------------------      Obj_Flag=EXIT
                                             Obj_State=NORMAL

The G_BOX object is the ROOT where:

     Obj_Next=-1    Obj_Head=1      Obj_Tail=1

The G_BOXTEXT is the child where:

     Obj_Next=0     Obj_Head=-1     Obj_Tail=-1

I want to display messages within the dialog box and have the user
skip to the next message by clicking on the G_BOXTEXT object. The
problem I am having is that I cannot figure out the parent-child-
sibling relationship of the G_TEXT objects that I will have to
place within the G_BOX object. Would the new G_TEXT objects be
children of G_BOX? What values for Obj_Next, Obj_Head and
Obj_Tail would I use for these additional objects? HELP, I am
stuck!
