Thanks for your input. I have decided to use the earlier suggestion of Anthony
Vallone to create a GdkColor variable and the gtk_widget_modify_text() function
to color my GtkEntry fields. This seems to work fine and doesn't involve the
complexities of Pango for this purpose. I'll probably look more into Pango when
I get into the reporting section of my application. Thanks again (and I
apologize if I have posted this response more than once).
