First, the escape character is a backslash, not a (forward) slash. Tcl/Tk behaves like C, in that \n is used as the line separator internally. \r characters should be added/removed upon output/input. In particular, if you want to add a line break within a multi-line text widget, you just add a \n character regardless of platform. To handle EOL conversions for I/O, use "fconfigure ... -translation ...". -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
