A followup, to which Rob should pay attention:
I am writing a little Personal Info Manager in Euphoria / GTK.
It uses a notebook with (at present) two pages, page 1 contains a
daily schedule (a list control), page 2 contains another list control with
contacts (name, addr, phone...). There will probably be more pages and
lists later.
The individual include files to manage a list with its associated pop-up
menus, edit boxes, etc. each required more than 165 lines of code.
If there are eventually 5 lists, that means 800-1000 lines of code
in 5 different files to wade thru when fixing bugs, or adding
features.
Using Aku's idea, I created a single 'generic' include to manage all the
lists, 190 lines. So I've already saved a good bit of coding, and when I
add more lists, I will get them basically for free - there will still be only
a singe, generic file to edit and test. Each 'instance' of the included code
maintains its own set of variables (for example, the currently selected row),
each edit window looks different with different text and entry fields, and
each accesses its own table in the database, even though they all use a
single, common procedure for each of those tasks. All of this is extremely
useful.
Please note the operative word: *useful*

Irv
