Mike, That is because you are mixing threads. You pggybacked your issue on a thread initiated by Vinesh Vargese, concerning the Tk::Text widget, as specified in the title bar. The sample code you tried had do with getting standard output redirected to a Tk widget, though Zentara chose a Listbox rather than a Text widget to display the text. The Listbox widget does not have built-in copy-and-paste functionality. Such functionality would be much more dificult to define in a generic sense for a listbox. This is actualy the question I posed at the end of my post. I corrected your top-posting above so you could see in context. No, this is not a Text widget. I think this is by design. Zentara provided sample code to demonstrate the difference between Tk display text and standard output. I don't think he had any intention of handing anyone a completed assignment. A simpler example, which does not deal with the original question, but which does show the functionality you are interested in: Greetings!
