Mike:
thanks. I’ve been trying to avoid getting into the widget modification part of livecode. I just figured there must be an easy way to initialize the widget’s selection. I did look at the dictionary API entry and it doesn’t tell me anything about how I would code an initialization to a particular hilight.

Best,
Bill
